In honor of National Star Wars Day, I thought I would bring your attention to the fact that my dad, Captain Jack, had a cameo in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. (And if you look closely in the original Star Wars: A New Hope before that in the Mos Eisley Cantina!) Upon retirement from the spacefaring chapter of his life, he converted his space helmet into a full head respirator for applying certain products on the orchard so he didn't have to shave his beard in order to wear a traditional respirator! May the Fourth be with you!
