Summer '77 at Glenwood Theatre in Overland Park, KS.  IIRC they didn't yet have a 70mm print on opening day, but got one later in the summer (before I went).

First saw ESB at the Midland in downtown Kansas City for a press-screening the night before general release.  Won tickets from WHB AM for answering the trivia question What did Vader refer to as a 'technological terror'?

Graduated high school in '83 and wasn't all that interested in ROTJ.  Maybe I thought I was supposed to have outgrown it by then.  I did eventually see it, but don't recall where.  It was some suburban cineplex with none of the atmosphere or ambience of the other two theaters.

 

Returned to Glenwood for ANH'97 not too long before they razed it.
