Re: First.....Time?

Hmm...First time for Star Wars. Time to show my age.

I was 16 and this new movie had just been released, my sister called me and told me that I had to see it and that I would love it. It was only playing in the local drive-in where I lived.

Neither me or my girlfriend could drive and nobody wanted to go see that stupid movie so I had to get my mother to take us. Well from the opening credits crackling in on the cheap drive-in speaker thought the whole movie I was mesmerized, as was my girlfriend AND my mom. It was just like watching the first moon landing - it was right there in front of your eyes but it was just so much sensor overload that you really weren't sure if it was real or fake.  It engulfed you like no other movie did at the time.  That was it, I was a die hard fan after that.

The great thing about my age is that I got to see the opening night of all the Star Wars movies. It was necessary so it didn't get spoiled since everyone I knew was going.

Re: First.....Time?

ANH playing on a demo TV at K-Mart or something. Was at the end of the movie, the Death Star run. Saw ESB when I was 3 or 4 but didn't remember any of it.

Then when I wanted to see the movies I didn't know which one was which so I asked the Blockbuster guy which one was the one with the Death Star exploding.

Join the club, I was 10 back in 1977 when Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope was released, or just plain Star Wars as we called it then smile

Saw it the Granada, Walthamstow with me Parents and Sister. Can remember the theatre was packed and everyone cheered when the Death Star blew.

Re: First.....Time?

My Dad brought me to see the remastered version of anh in the cinema. I wish I could remember more of it than just the trench sequence.
