I didn't see STAR WARS until July, 1978..I had heard how FANTASTIC it was for just over a year. At my college dorm in fall 1977, you could hear the soundtrack to STAR WARS blasting from any number of dorm rooms/windows. My friends kept telling me to go see it because they knew how much I love science fiction. I remained skeptical, even as I watched guys in my dorm turn out the hall lights and have light saber duels, using flash lights.... I finally saw it on my 21 st birthday. I was ASTOUNDED! Never saw anything like it before, blah blah blah... It made Close Encounters look dull, but only in comparison.... and I like that movie! I saw Empire and Jedi on the first day of their opening... I had NO intentions of waiting another day to see 'em! It changed how sci fi movies were made after that..the special effects just kept getting better and better in movies from that point on.. STAR WARS is not just a movie..it has become a part of our culture..and a part of history. "I offer you a Vulcan prayer, Mr Suder.
