my memory isn't that bad, is it? (in SW '77 - Luke misses with the grappling hook?)

I agree with SKot (and the rest) on the whole 'mis-re-memories' line of thought. So many things influence your memory, especially when you're talking about two and three decades passing. I know I ate, slept, and breathed Star Wars. I had the Star Wars record, where R2 beeped when it was time to turn the page. I had the Storybooks, which were basically movie picture books (and where I think most 'mis-re-memories' come from, including my own). I even had a book with R2 and 3PO telling me about space. Oh, had the pop up book too (my favorite page was the one with the McQuarrie X-Wing in the trench). And then there's all the dreams I've had about Star Wars... (there was one I remember vividly of a young Kenobi flying around with Anakin in ships that were something between an X-Wing and the EpIII Starfighter. This had to be 30 years ago)

As for ANH, I don't really have any memories of things not happening. I assume it's because I watched about every showing of Star Wars on Showtime when it came on.

I do, however, remember in ESB that a snowspeeder crashed into the AT-AT the blew up the generator. I can totally accept that it never happened, and I think that I'm transferring the scene from ROTJ into my Hoth mind.

And as for Corky's comment - I too remember the scene where Luke jumps up and grabs the bars. I also remember the 'people' in Jabba's court quickly stomping on his fingers. No proof, just a memory, but it sticks out. I assume it's from the storybook pictures.
