Description credit Denver History Books by Mark A. Barnhouse:
“There’s a movie out right now, billed as "Episode IX” of a nine-movie saga. Back in May, 1980, when this Rocky Mountain News photo (courtesy DPL) was taken in front of the Cooper Theater on S. Colorado Blvd., where Barnes & Noble is now, we could not imagine that it would take until 2019 for the Skywalker story to be fully told. In those days, the Cooper had exclusive rights to Star Wars films for the first few months of release, something very hard to imagine in a world where movies open on thousands of screens and are gone within a month. This is from my 2015 book LOST DENVER."
