  Star Wars, huh? I can’t believe it’s been 30 years. Really?

  I saw it in the Ruston theater — two whole screens, sticky floors…the only place in town where you got $2 bills or $0.50 pieces in change. I sat on the third row between the Flournoy twins — they were guys — wait, this doesn’t sound right, we were 7 years old, we didn’t care about girls…umm, nevermind…but Darth Vader scared the holy crap out of us.

  Anywho! Interestingly enough, May 25, 1961 is the date that JFK announced to a joint session of congress his intent to put a man on the moon during that decade. 16 years later we get Star Wars!

  I remember thinking (at age 7) that Darth Vader was the baddest villian I’d ever seen.

  i have to disagree slightly. as a huge star wars fan (i’ve seen all 6 movies on opening day) i would like to point out that “the empire strikes back” is the best of the 6 movies and therefore “a new hope” can’t be the best movie ever made.

  Point taken. I actually agree with you. Empire was the best of the best, sir.
