Tempesta’s father is dead. His will leaves the family fortune to her brother. But to everyone’s surprise, the will gives Tempesta money that had belonged to her mother, who died years before.

But I’m here to sing the praises of another space opera.
A young George Lucas talks with Anthony Daniels, who plays the robot C-3PO, for the film “Star Wars: A New Hope,” in 1977.
I was a bit late jumping on the Star Wars bandwagon.
