Listened to the 1977 Nils Lofgren live album "Night After Night" last night.

During his opening tune "Take You to the Movies" he slips in at one point (in place of the titular lyric), "I'm gonna take you to see Star Wars," and the crowd responds with a hearty cheer. 

These are of course grown-ups, at a time when the movie was still fresh and new.  A great reminder of how the film was universally beloved by people of all ages, and it represented such a timely, unadulterated thrill.  A breathtaking, escapist joyride that everyone was taking together.
