Happy Birthday SW! One of the few films franchises (save for Ep. 1-3) I go back to regularely. :up:

I was nine back then watching Star Wars. :o

I feel like a fossil now. :har:

I was 12 and remember queuing for ages one Saturday afternoon when I went to see it.

@ STEED and yes it does make you feel bloody old doesn't it :cry:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was 14. Went to see the first movie, oh, about 20 times. :D

I was about 13 when I saw Star Wars IV at our local cinema

And I do remember my imaginations when I was bicycling home afterwards

On my way home I passed a contructions side and I tried with my mind to raise the crane from the ground(as a true Jedi)

Bunch of kids! :nope:

I was 27 and saw it with my wife, to whom I had already been married for three years.

Jeez man, you are ancient!:O: (much love, and just playing around.)

I was not even born in 1977 (?). But it don't make us youngins bad.
I was one when Elvis died and love him, as much as I love some star wars.

Picture Elvis in the Cantina scene, jeez George Lucas missed the boat! The king would have fit right in.
(maybe doing "fools Rush in" or "my way")

My aunt took me to see it when I was 4. I've grown up with it in every way...through the movies, the toys, the lunch boxes, the toothbrushes and now Yoda selling computer accessories for PC world...

***Hmmm, raping your childhood memories for a quick buck I am!***

Naah, screw it, I'm going to go and watch A New Hope right now for the millionth time and cry like a baby with the majesty of it all when Luke stands on that dune beyond his uncle's moisture farm and watches the twin suns set over Tatooine, because, for all the crap Lucus has dumped on his fans over the years, that one 20 second scene is why I fell in love with Star Wars and why I love it still.

May the Farce be with yoo :woot:

Cheers

No it doesn't. I just like to tweek young people who say they feel old.

When my older daughter turned 21 I called my dad and said I was feeling old for the first time. He said "I'll let you in on a little secret. People in their 70s don't appreciate hearing children in their 50s whine about feeling old!"

I was born in 1977 so I did not see A New Hope until one of the later re-releases that they did to co-inside with the re-leases of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi when they came out in 80 and 83 and I watched them on VHS as well.I am a purist I like the original IV, V, VI I do not really like the ones where they added in the CGI bits that got released in the late 90s.

To me 35 does not feel "old" at all that is a few months yet for me but if you count from the womb I am 35 already.

I was getting a hair cut the other day and the young girl who was cutting my hair went to the same high school as I did about 14 years after I graduated.

Clearly she must figure that I am a few years older and she said something about feeling old seeing friends from school that she only left 3 years ago(perhaps she was trying to relate :hmmm:) So I ask what age her oldest living relative is and she says 95 years old and I said "Now see you might get to be that age yourself you have 75 years of feeling old ahead of you." She laughed and said "When I think about it like that guess I feel pretty young."

Alright granddad calm down and take your medication and stop shouting out...Hey you kids, get off the lawn. :O: :haha:
