August of 1977, age 6. Back then a wide release meant that where we lived you might get the movie a couple of months later. I was freaking out because my aunt had bought me DV, Luke and Obi-Wan action figures well before I got to see the film. That and most of my friends had already seen it.

Not exactly sure, late 77 or early 78. Might have been Christmas vacation. I remember where (the Continental in Forest Hills, Queens) and with who (the son of my Dad's business partner). I was 10.

Well, if it came out May 25, 1977, then I saw it around June 9-10 or 16-17, 1977 in the afternoon in an empty theatre.
We had never seen anything like that on the big screen before, let me tell you & at 16, back in the 70's, we were 'properly prepared' if you get my drift. grin

The whole classic trilogy was a staple in my household when I was growing up. I was so young the first time I saw it, I can't even remember when it happened. I just always knew what it was. THe pit of karkoon on tattooine gave me nightmares after I saw The Return of the Jedi.
