Wow, am I the oldest on the board? I'm 46. Saw SW five times in three different theaters when it opened (I was 17 in 1977). SW had been heavily hyped in northern CA by a popular late-night TV show hosted by Bob Wilkins - so I knew it was coming, knew it would be good, and loved every minute of it. I remember every detail as if it were yesterday.

My only regret is never having seen it in 70mm. Five years ago, I saw 2001 in 70mm, it was without question the most stunning image I've ever seen on any screen. I can only imagine what SW must have looked like in 70mm. I should have driven to LA to see it. If a print ever made a tour, I'd fly out to see it... although I'd probably have a heart attack or something watching it.
