In May of 1977, my family was on one of our annual trips to California to visit family. As we drove down Hollywood Boulevard, seeing the sights, we saw that a new movie was showing at Grauman's Chinese Theater,
Star Wars. I recall being excited about it, I also recall being told by my dad that 'it looks stupid, you don't need to see that'. Got back home to Texas, started school a few months later still not having seen the film. A friend told me that I shouldn't see the film because 'it has kissing in it!'(the Luke & Leia scene, really?). But this ten year old still wanted desperately to see the movie.
