Very similar to my experience. I saw it for the first time during the summer of 1977. My first soundtrack was purchased later that year... Star Wars, on LP (20th Century Records). During my first viewing I was so involved with the movie that for long periods of time I would forget all my surroundings other than the movie itself. The theater I saw it in was amazing. The Dickinson Glenwood Theater of Kansas City. I am now unsure if I saw the movie in 35 or 70mm, but seeing it on a 70 foot wide screen was an amazing experience. I'm also very much a home theater nut now striving for perfection in both audio and video.
