Anyone want to go see Star Wars with me?
- tony baldwin repeated this.
-
@tonybaldwin Been there. Done that. 1977 (before George started editing out the best bits. Han shot first. That was the joke!)
-
@laurelrusswurm I am so glad I saw Star Wars when it was first released. Not sure I want to see any of the remixes...
-
I was mad when I bought the Star Wars video cassette only to discover it was revised. !bad
-
@laurelrusswurm Yes. I keep seeing the various releases and then not buying them #StillWaitingForTheOriginalCut

@expatpaul my uncle took me to see it shortly after its release, in blackpool as i was off school having had a appendectomy
-
@r7 My Dad took my brother and I to see it on it's opening weekend. We queued around the block. Literally
-
@expatpaul i was the first in my class to see it | cinema virtually empty as midday midweek in term time :)
-
@r7 Oh, lucky you - I'm envious
-
@r7 I asked my dad to take me to the toilet just before the death star was blown up.
-
@expatpaul don't be too envious, i had to have surgery for that to happen ;)
-
@r7 I was slightly too young to see it when it first opened. I did, however, have an unseemly fixation on my Princess Lea action figure.
-
@mcnalu fantastic
-
@r7 that was not his reaction
-
@vanden kept me going till #tankgirl | feels like a game of #morningtoncrescent
-
@r7 Good point
-
@mcnalu Your poor dad... He has my sympathy ;-)
-
@vanden I would class that as seemly. I once knew a joke that involved yoda in lingerie but the very mental image has displaced it.
-
@mcnalu i suspect not
-
@expatpaul my own son's equivalent is to insist that the phantom menace is the best of the six
-
@mcnalu It was unseemly not because of the fixation per se, but on account of the sordid details. #andthatsalliamgoingtosay
-
@mcnalu You have my sympathy as well ;-)
-
@vanden i suspect you were not alone
-
@r7 The tankgirl thing passed me by, I'm afraid. I did, nonetheless, admire the t-shirt that was talk of the 'verse a few hours back.
-
@vanden ah shame | not sure whether she crossed atlantic | she remains my favourite female graphic fiction character #whatsnottolike
-
Haven't thought of #starwars action figures in forever. Recall deep sorrow on losing Lea's tiny plastic gun. Those were #lawsuitsinwaiting.

When it 1st came out in 1977, I saw it at a drive-in, from the bed of my Dad's Chevy Custom pick-up truck, with a bag of homemade popcorn.
