Happy birthday, Lawrence Kasdan! You’re the writer who made us fear snakes and love scruffy-looking nerf herders. When Han Solo said "I know," we knew we owed that cool swagger to your brilliant penmanship. Your clever storytelling gave audiences iconic adventures with Indiana Jones outrunning boulders, and Luke Skywalker battling family drama—galactic style.Years later, fans still treasure every sarcastic line from Empire Strikes Back and unforgettable action sequences from Raiders of the Lost Ark. Thanks for making archaeology heroic (and stylish fedoras fashionable). Wishing you another adventurous year filled only with scripts as timelessly awesome as yours!
