Ahhhh, 1983......I was 15.....I remember queuing outside down the side of the cinema with my mates & wee bro to see ROTJ in '83.......
ABC Cinema in Belfast:
Which is now Jury's Hotel :(
Across the road from it was the NEW VIC:
Which is now an extension of the Grand Opera House & The FitzWilliam Hotel
I remember at each screening Darth Vader made a public appearance, the suit looked authentic & whoever was inside was the right height, in other words it didn't look fake
I remember the ticket booth sold memorabilia, the ROTJ storybook & Official Collectors Book were there......over at the sweet counter, they sold other things, posters etc.......why do cinemas nowadays not cash into these sort of things....well not in Northern Ireland anyway.
