I was also 5 years old (almost 6) when I saw ANH for the first time in 77' with my dad, it was the first movie I remember seeing in a theater, before that my parents were afraid any movie they took me too I wouldn't sit through.

I'm not sure if I blinked once through the movie, my dad was so impressed, that as soon as the toys came out, he took me to a local store (that no longer exists) and bought me 5 or 6 of the figures, then I remember going to Burger King and buying the drinking glasses, bed sheets, posters...ect. all of which I still have to this day....I ended up going about 10-12 more times with family and friends that summer, great memories.

I wanted to take my 4 yr old son to see one Star Wars movie in a theater (in memory of my dad) but ROTS being PG-13 and my son being younger and more hyper than I was...I decided to go by myself first...I never ended up taking him because I just didn't think he'd sit through it....He still doesn't, but loves the DVD, he's as much into Star Wars now as I was...Now I have to deal with my wife rolling her eyes at us....it's worth it.
