Listener Comments:
I saw Star Wars for the first time at the Gateway Movie Theater in Ft. Wayne, IN. My Dad had read a review in Time magazine, but I wasn't excited. I had a crush on Richard Dreyfuss after seeing Close Encounters of the Third Kind and I thought this movie was trying to steal Close Encounters' thunder. After seeing Star Wars, I (of course) switched my crush to Mark Hamill and became completely obsessed with the film. I read the book, bought the poster, saw it again (and I never see movies more than once in theatres). I still love it today. Posted by: Ann VerWiebe (Kent) on May 25, 2007 8:47AM
