   Well, it’s hard to say about the movie, but YouTube is definitely getting worse.

   Properly Aged Han?

   AWESOME!

   I still remember the summer of 1977, when they said the sequel would be Three. Years. Away.

   Might as well be never when you’re 13, amiright?

   Imperial Star Destroyer crashed nearly intact on Tatooine? I hope the Imperial Remnant gave whoever was at the controls a medal for all the lives he saved. Even if none of them could hit the broad side of a Wookiee.

   John Williams daddy, Johnny Williams is the drummer here. Kinda reminiscent of s’mthin’ or other.

   I will say the scenery is *awesome*. I’m not sure the lightsaber crosshilt actually does anything useful in the context of a lightsaber held by a jedi. (I know, nerd.)

   Wow, that brought tear to my eye. However, I cry at Mothra movies.

   Yep, I just turned 23 and, long time sci-fi reader who had been pretty much disappointed by movie treatments of sci-fi (with a few notable exceptions – e.g. original Planet of the Apes) I went in with low expectations….

   the opening sequence grabbed me with both hands.

   I saw the movie 14 times that summer.

    I watched the trailer again… looks like it’s just the front part of the destroyer … nothing after the bridge..

    Okay, kinda freaky.

    Like Di, I was 13 that year and like Darleen I saw it 14 times that summer (at the Centre theatre in SLC).

    Still have Star Wars comic #1 which came out the year prior.

    Slept out overnight in 1980 in order to see the 1st showing on opening day of Empire.

    Life was so much simpler then.

    I saw it at the Cinedome in Riverdale (near Ogden).

    Now THAT was a theater: huge screen, rocking seats, enormous oil-drip lamps in the lobby…

    An Imperial Star Destroyer’s bridge is atop the stern. There’s not a whole lot left to be after it.

14. Darleen says:

    Oh crap, McGehee, you’re right. I had to go back and refresh my memory. I thought the bridge was further forward.

    Yes, it’s a complete Star Destroyer. In the foreground is a downed X-wing.

    Did the Empire kill ALL the Jawas on Tatooine in their search for R2-D2? If not, why the hell is all that scrap metal still littering the desert?

16. McGehee says:

    There was some apparent damage. Maybe it wasn’t all from the crash.

    Several Jawa sandcrawlers could fit inside one of those ships.

    Also, scrap has value due to scarcity, and, well…
