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)

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