I remember standing in a long line to see Star Wars in '78. I was 12 when it was released.

Uh...yeah...that was 1977.

lobo81865 · 10-25-2008, 04:25 AM

Ah, well I was close. I still remember standing in line though.

I saw Ben Hur with Charlton Heston on the first day run.

And I also remember when "HiFi" became "stereo".

Definitely saw StarWars in the theaters.

Remeber when Empire came out and they released yoda and Boba fett, before we even knew who they were??

Remember the whole sticker thing with Boba fett and how he was supposed to have a firing missle on his back.

Damn...good times.

METAL LUNCHBOXES!!!!

I was twenty-three when Star Wars hit the theaters. So yeah, I'm an old phart.

My wife and I avoided seeing it at first because of the long lines at the box offices. After about four months it was still showing but the lnes had diminished. We decided to go and see what all the fuss was about.

WOW! I can't wait to see it on my 56" screen.

I wonder -- who amongst you young whippersnappers can identify my avatar? No, it is NOT a Klingon bus token.

Fett appeared in the Star Wars Holiday Special (1978) way before Empire.

I was about 35 and that seems like only a few years ago.

The first time I saw it was at a drive-in. After a week of constant harassment my parents finally relented and took me to see it. Saw it a total of 11 times that year.

Prior to the movie being released, I had a subscription to a magazine called Starlog, in which they had a preview of the film, including some artist renderings of Luke Skywalker. I knew long before that I was going to see the movie. I had to drag my friends to the theater, but after the first time, we all went back multiple times. I was probably close to 12 viewings that summer.

When I learned how many families were going to see it from our town, I felt responsible for getting the word out.

Moefiz · 10-25-2008, 12:36 PM

I remember me and brother standing up in line to see Superman it was rainning but we just couldn't miss it....ask me now if I would ever stand up in line to see a movie and the answer would be a big fat NO.....

HOME THEATRE ADDICT! · 10-25-2008, 01:35 PM

I can remember going to the drive in with my girlfriend in 1978 to see Grease! I was 18. I dont want to be blu-ray.coms oldest member!

My wife would disagree with you calling me "wise".

Peaky · 10-25-2008, 05:37 AM

I remember being taken to see the original Star Wars at the movies, I was 8. That is probably some of my earliest memories of going to the movies, don't know what year it would be, but I remember my mother taking me to see one of the "Herbie" movies, along with, wait for it, The Village People in "Can't Stop the Music", I remember the line was huge to get in to see that.

Pondosinatra · 10-27-2008, 04:38 AM

Halloween? Bah, you young kids and your modern horror movies and Dan Fogelberg albums.

Back in my day we only had one horror movie - Nosferatu - and that was the way we liked it!
