Ok. I first saw Star Wars in 1977 at the Odeon Leicester square, London. I was 6 or 7. Loved it so much I fell asleep because I thought it was boring. Ha!!                       

Wasn't until it came to my local cinema that I loved it.

But I really started to love the films when I (actually my mum) bought my first action figure. Obi Wan Kenobi. Still have that very one, along with all the others, all stashed away in my parents loft with all my other Star Wars shit!

Saw Empire when first released, again at my local (which was only a 3 min walk from my house) and loved it. And because the cinema was such a short walk, I could go and watch the film on my tod whenever I liked.

But seeing Jedi for the first time is probably my happiest memory of Star Wars as a child (or at least one of them..so many) was being 11 or 12 , walking to the cinema with a load of school friends, waiting for the doors to open, and bam!..Straight to the front row. Man! When that film started I don't think the was ever a moment when I wasn't feeling pure joy. Oh man!!

 

So, there you go.
