Guested Account Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Did you see Star Wars in 1977? What do you remember about it? http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/star-wars-opened-day-1977/story?id=47624045 I was still in Italy and the hype over the movie for months before it was released was mind boggling. I was 12 years old. We went to see it on opening day and I thought that was the most wondrous and amazing thing I'd ever seen in my life. There was absolutely nothing like it before it. Even 2001: A Space Odyssey a few years earlier didn't come close to it. Close Encounters of the Third Kind didn't come out until almost 6 months later. I still have the comic adaptation of the movie and the 45 vinyl record of the Star Wars theme song I bought in Italy at the time. Had them with me when we left Italy later that same year to come to the USA. Edited May 25, 2017 by j7wild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 I saw it in 1977. My parents, sister and I went to the movies for a Sunday evening. We saw The Spy Who Loved Me, then we had a nice family dinner and followed that with Star Wars. It was a great family evening lots of fun and happy times. I was so excited in seeing 2 movies in the same day. Told all my friends at school the next day. Has a kid I watch a lot of Scifi movies but nothing was like Star Wars. It was very impressive at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
