I was 5. I saw it late that summer, when my teenage baby-sitter saw me drawing X-wings and started talking Star Wars and I didn't know what she was talking about.
She jumped up right there, hustled my sisters and me into her car and took us to see it.
It was probably the greatest thing I had experienced in my life up until that point.
I remember the first time it was on TV was on PBS, uninterrupted, without commercial breaks.
This was in Colorado, probably around '79 or '80. This was the second time I saw Star Wars.
Then a few years later HBO started showing it 24/7, so I was over at my friend's house every weekend watching Star Wars.
Probably saw it at least 20 times on HBO.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, STAR WARS!
