May the 4th be with you!

Great story. I am the same age as you but I got to see Star Wars the first time it released. It was the first movie I remember seeing in the theater and as you might have guessed it has stuck with me my entire life.

Thanks!

I think Star Wars has stuck with most of our generation. If you weren't there at the right age, you just don't understand. It was our Woodstock.

I remember seeing a few movies before Star Wars. My first movie was some weird sci fi thing. It was kind of a Stepford Wives knock off with robot babies. My mom was visiting my dad at the Army Reserves and they assumed I would be too young to remember it. But I took it all in like a sponge.

I remember crying during Bambi which was my first real movie. I also remember seeing Benji and Peter Pan. But nothing impacted me the way Star Wars did.

Some day, I'm going to have to make it down for a Star Wars weekend!

May the 4th Be With You as well!! I was hoping some other Star Wars geeks would acknowledge it - great to see the new signage today for the ride and CAN'T WAIT for the soft-opening preview updates!!

Side note - my sister gave my son the Star Wars Pop-Up Guide to the Galaxy - it's really amazing and I recommend checking it out if you've never seen it!

Cool pop-up book. I've seen Matthew Reinhart's DC Super Heroes pop-up book which was also quite awesome.

Much as I quite like the films over here we had punk explode in 77 and of course Her Majesty's Silver Jubilee. :cool: which nudged the old Star Wars don the pecking order despite the local involvement.

I was born the year Star Wars originally released, so I missed it in the theaters. But, my grandparents had cable and it played tons on HBO, so I watched it at least 20 times at their place when I was 2 or 3 years old. I even got to go see Empire Strikes Back in the theaters... but Yoda kinda freaked me out a bit back then.

Anyway, here's a link to something silly. There's a webcomic artist I like and he's been posting single frame comics that he did with Star Wars themes today. This had been the first one: http://twitpic.com/4ta7le
