40 years ago on March 4th, Robotech premiered on TV in Los Angeles. To celebrate this special anniversary of ROBOTECH DAY, Digging Star Wars is highlighting films that were actually mentioned by title or quoted in the Robotech TV episodes, comic books and/or novels. 

For Robotech Day 2025, I’ve also provided FREE Robotech stickers at Animotion Manga & More in Exton, PA and Maroon Hornet Comics & Collectibles in Oxford, PA. Plus, I'll be handing out FREE stickers to anyone that gives me a heartfelt "Howdy!" during the Cowboy Bebop LIVE concert at The Queen in Delaware this Friday.

Digging Star Wars has a few more surprises before the year's over - so keep coming back to see how I'm celebrating this momentous year for my favorite anime show. But before you go, check out my posts to date honoring the classic films found in Robotech...
