Stuff like this comes about from one guy posting something along the lines of, "I am 100% that the first time I saw Star Wars it had a scene where Luke misses the first time he throws the grappling hook. When I bought the VHS that scene was missing! Perhaps this was on an alternative TV version, since the first time I saw Star Wars was when it aired as the 9:00 movie on channel four here in the bay area. That was back sometime in the mid eighties." and another poster responds something along the lines of, "Yeah, I could have sworn I had seen a scene where Luke missed the first time too, I also live in the bay area, maybe I am remembering it from the TV broadcast." and a third poster after having read the previous too posters suddenly recollects, "You know what, now that you mention it, Luke missing sounds familiar, I also lived in the bay area in the 80s, maybe I happened to see that broadcast, probably that is why it sounds familiar to me."

Yeah but if a number of people in the bay area are thinking they saw this thing, doesn't it raise the question that maybe that DID see something?
