In 1978 one day my mother at breakfast pointed at an add in the newspaper and said, "you're not going to school today. We're gonna go see this movie." I was looking at the poster. I hated swords and space ships. It looked like Luke was wearing a dress. I said, "Whatever I'm not going to school. I will see this." All I cared about was WWII. Then my mother took me to see Star Wars. I fucking loved it from the second it started. I'll never forget driving home and making laser guns noises the whole ride. I must have been fucking annoying as hell. I also loved R2D2 and you know I was saying "Ahh 2" over and over with a Boston accent.
You should know that when this movie came out there were people in line around the block. The term "block buster"
came out of this. I remember them saying it on the news.
When Empire Strikes Back came out, me and my neighbor went to see it. I also loved this movie from the first second. When the snow walkers are trudging all over shooting lasers I was wicked psyched. There were two kids our age in the row in front of us. One of them kept saying, "So fake" over and over. He was clearly angry. I remember thinking, "What an a-hole."
Also when Princess Leia looks at Hans Solo, right before he is frozen, she says, "I love you" and he says, "I know." Apparently he totally ad-libbed this. Funny.
