The day I first saw Star Wars was the greatest day of my life! It was my birthday, I wanted a digital watch and I got it, I saw Star Wars, and on the way out of the movie, Roger Staubach was waiting in line to see the movie and I got his autograph!

30 years later and it is still the best day of my life.

I saw it in 1977 at the North Park cinema, back when it was two screens in separate theaters. I remember the lines wrapping around the parking garages — but afterwards, I knew it was definitely worth the wait.

I must’ve seen it another 5-6 times in the next couple of weeks. I’ve never been so moved to repeat viewings of the same movie as I was Star Wars. Not even TESB or ROTJ, and certainly not any of the current incarnation.

I almost felt that way about Raiders of the Lost Ark, and even though I saw it several times, the “adventure” wasn’t quite the same.

So what theater did you see it in?

After a full day like that..its only down hill from there.

I remember my first time too. It was the best!
