I saw it before it became popular. I was 16.
I thought it was good. However, the friend that I saw it with went absolutely ga-ga over it. He still talks about that first time.
To be perfectly honest, the first time I saw “Star Wars” I have to admit I was somewhat disappointed. The previews were comparing it to “2001,...” with it’s special effects. So I was expecting something deep and profound like “2001”. What I got instead was something along the lines of “Buck Rogers in the 24th Century.”
