I saw Star Wars in Winona, MN. I was only 7 at the time and I remember my Dad coaxing me to go see it. He showed me a small theater ad in the paper that showed R2D2 and C3P0 and said, “See, it has robots in it!” I reluctantly went along. The theater was bare two minutes before show time. My Dad said, “There’s hardly anybody here, I wonder if their still going to show it” Needless to say, I was blown away. My Dad probably wishes he never should have taken me because I haven’t stopped talking about it 35 years later. Oh, and by the way. The next year, Star Wars was replaying at the same theater. The line was rapped around the block. I remember that as well because I was waving to my sister across the street who was waiting in line to see Grease.
