Was it 1977?

To the shame of my generation, I don’t remember the first time I saw Star Wars.

Make no mistake. It’s on the pedestal that I reserve for my favorite movies of all time. It’s stacked near the top. But my affection grew and grew and grew on the repeated viewings of ratty VHS tapes. I can’t remember seeing Star Wars clearly in the theatre.

At all.

If it's any consolation, neither do a lot of people about our age. I barely remember Empire, and only because the babysitter my parents hired to keep an eye on my sister and I had already seen it 13 times, and was determined to take us.
