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
) 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."
