I actually did see it in 1977. I did not follow the other movies though. I *think* I was doing other things. What a shame.
My daughter was very interested in TPM, AOTC, and ROTS. I think it also had to do with a tall dark handsome young man. LOL
I remember seeing parts of ESB and ROTJ on VHS in the late 1990's when daughter was interested in the series.
It's just been recently (*blush*) that I have seen everyone of the movies in full. Over and Over and over again. I have been watching them a LOT lately and am enjoying each of them a great deal.

In February 1979, I was 4 then. It was a very small movie theater in a even smaller town, El Quisco, in my country, Chile.

I first watched the OT when I was like 5 or something, so like sometime in 1995.

I was born in 75, and my parents said they did not take me to the theater to see it. I remember the first time I saw ANH and it was on HBO the first night we got cable tv. I want to say it was 80 or 81. I do remember seeing ROTJ in the theater (I remember an intermission). I got my first figures when I was 5 or six in 80 or 81 and I remember sending in UPC points for the special Luke package that included a grapling hook and line and some kind of special belt.

There's a two part answer.

1. A month after I was born in 78, my family went to the drive-in with me, to see it. So in a technical sense, I was present, but unaware.

2. I was four years old and saw it on video tape.

I kinda covered this in the other thread, but I said on or after June 24, 1977 when it finally came to Atlanta. I was six years old at the time.

2002, after first seeing TPM and AOTC. This was interesting since the order I then ended up seeing it was TPM, AOTC, ANH, TESB, and ROTJ. Having known nothing about the originals, I was able to learn who Anakin Skywalker was as a Jedi, think he died when watching ANH, then be utterly surprised when seeing TESB.

Fall 1977, Mann's Chinese theater in 70MM. The cement footprints of 3P0, Vader and R2 were still fresh. They're all cracked now!

When the SE's came out, I convinced my folks to take me along. I was 6. Unbelievable experience. Truly magical.

Summer of 77, 9 years old.

There is nothing like seeing that huge destroyer roll across the big screen at the start for the first time, firing lasers at a smaller ship.
You knew within 5 minutes this would be epic.

No other movie has blown me away like this one, and no other movie ever will I think. Because of my age at the time.
