New Orleans, Louisiana, is famous for its French and Spanish Creole architecture, cuisine, jazz music, and Mardi Gras. About 140 miles from the state’s largest city is Avery Island, the birthplace and home of Tabasco.

Prior to making Tabasco sauce, Edmund McIlhenny received Capsicum frutescens pepper seeds from Mexico or Central America, which he planted on Avery Island. In 1868 he grew his first commercial pepper crop, and in 1869 he sent hundreds of bottles of Tabasco to grocers throughout the Gulf Coast. Now, the sauce is sold in more than 180 countries.

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi is the finale of the original trilogy. Return of the Jedi was released in 1983 and served to finish the trilogies story of Luke Skywalker and his friends rebellion against the evil Galactic Empire. Prior to its release, the film was originally titled as Revenge of the Jedi. Teaser trailers and posters bearing this name were used to promote the film just weeks prior to the release. However, series creator, George Lucas, decided that the title wasn't appropriate because the Jedi culture did not support seeking out revenge. Thus, the title was changed to what it had originally been envisioned as.
