imthestein Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I was yet another person born in '79, but I can't remember a time when I didn't know Star Wars and I vaguely remember either seeing Jedi in theatres or on tv. I have always loved it and afaik nothing after 1996 ever happened >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moaky Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I was 9 in 77, and the funny thing was the commercials looked dumb until I actually saw it. Was an addict for life after that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vyerix Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I was 4 1/2 went with all my cousins to local drive in. I remember all being in my aunts New Yorker and her and my mom had the 2 youngest(1 year old each) in the other car. Became an instant Vader fan for life that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediTahiri Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 i was born in 83 so i have always been jealous of the people that got to see it the first time in 77. as it was said before our generation will never have a chance to experience something like the 77 opening. nothing new really surprises anymore.

ademnus Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I was 7 and thought it was the coolest thing ever. At that time, with very very very few exceptions, science fiction (albeit star wars is fantasy but that's a seperate thread ;p) special effects and credibility was mostly limited to flaming toilet paper tubes on strings serving as rockets to spaaaace and here came star wars, which, to us kids seemed totally real. I remember I had to wait for a second release of the film into theaters (which never happened back then except for this runaway blockbuster) because my mom refused to stand on the 4-block long lines snaking around the theater. And yeah, the words "a new hope" were not there back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassidan Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I didn't see as much as heard Star Wars in 1977. I was still in the womb when my dad took my mom to see it and apparently after the music kicked in I didn't stop kicking until they left the theater lol. My mother thus had me stamped as a sci-fi nerd even before I entered the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabster Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I was 9 - but I got to see it before anyone else. I was in a test audience to see it before it was hacked up (ie. I saw photoage of Biggs, Fixer and Cami on Tattooine in the beginning at Toshi station, etc...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
