Born 142 years ago today, the great Douglas Fairbanks stars as cinema's first Zorro in THE MARK OF ZORRO (1920). He's magnificent – charming and charismatic, acrobatic and heroic – and his genre-defining performance would usher in an age of cinematic swashbucklers, with many of the greats played by Fairbanks himself.

When I was at LFL – with offices in the Presidio – I fielded a number of calls trying to reconcile the headquarters of SW with the future headquarters of Starfleet. They were wondering if there might be some connection, as if George were laying the foundations for...some kind of real-life crossover?
