Reply #137: Well, I saw it and LOVED IT at 7.

That's how old I was when it first came out in theaters. (1977) My dad and I must have gone to the theater to see it again and again 8 or 9 times that summer. It was rated PG back then - the PG-13 rating didn't exist yet.

Serious father-daughter bonding going on there. We put together model kits of the Millennium Falcon and X-wing Fighters side by side at the kitchen table for years.

And yeah, any kid left out of the Star Wars loop in those years would have been...out of the loop. That's what me and all my third-grade friends talked about and played nonstop. My parents thought it was adorable and got me lots of the toys for Christmas and birthdays.


(Later on, when Han Solo become directly responsible for my age 10-13 pubescent sexual awakening, I didn't share that with my dad quite so much. :blush:)
