I remember being 4 years old and watching the real Star Wars in the theater in 1977.
The last two were positively horrible in every regard except special effects; soiling perhaps one of the best trilogys of all time. The first three were awesome.
Looks like this current one is a lot more dark and in line with the first one from 1977.
Looking forward to checking it out.
I still have all my original (first three) Star War figures with weapons / capes / light sabres, carrying cases, Land Speeder, the various ships and other vehciles. My mother who is a 4th grade teacher has my original Star Wars enyclopedia from the 1980's in her classroom's library. She said the boys are addicted to it and have been reading it every day!
When I was a kid, I took the cape off my Darth Vader figure and placed it over a light bulb. It proceeded to catch fire and nearly burned our den down. My father came in, put it out, looked at me and demanded to know who did this (knowing that I did it obviously). I proceeded to shrug my shoulders and said I didn't know. My father whooped me so hard in the butt that I whizzed my pants. One of the few times I got spanked as a kid - my special Star Wars moment.
