When I was seven years old, in 1977, it was a hot summer in New Jersey. Our home had no air conditioning back then, so the family decided to go to the movies to escape the heat. I remember the drive down to Lawrenceville in our dented brown Plymouth Satellite and the welcoming doors of the Eric Twin theater. I had never heard of the movie we were going to see and my father only picked it because a coworker told him it was good. Little did we know that the Eric Twin would become forever cemented in our memories as the place we saw the most important film in history, George Lucas’s “Star Wars”.
