Out of the 7 times I seen it new in the theatre, one of the times I seen it with my brother and his wife.
After the movie was over, she said "that movie sucked !!!"
I had to smile ....
After hearing only great reviews about Star Wars, it was nice to hear at least one person in the world didn't like it.Comment

Saw it like 6-7 times and loved it as a kid. When I got a little older I never really liked it or the other Star Wars movies that much. Haven't even seen the last 2.Comment

It still irks me to this day that the original SW is Episode IV now!
Me too.
Our generation will always call THAT MOVIE "Star Wars", which it was/is.
It bugs me when people keep refering the Phantom as "the first Star Wars movie"
In the same vain, it would be like saying the first Star Trek TV series was Enterprise.

Now I did not realize that they added that crap so early on. It still irks me to this day that the original SW is Episode IV now!

I have a DVD that was created -i believe- from the original laser disc version and it has no episode iv in the scrwal. it also has no fake jabba, no han shoots first , no nonsense - just a perfect picture the way I saw it in 77.
Empire was a great movie (albeit a cliff hanger) though it already started down the path of destruction of the franchise -(spoiler alert) Darth is Lukes Dad????
I'm fine with Empire and Return SE and re releases becasue that were done better and weren't pure to start with. Changing star wars is akin to alter sacred texts.
And if Star Wars is episode 4 does that mean that they will eventually make episodes 1, 2 and 3?Comment

be no more movies" bit)
I don't care what the purists say.
I don't care what ANY fan or enemy of the franchise has to say.
If they don't make an EPISODE SEVEN with at least CAMEOS
of FORD, FISHER and HAMILL----I'm gonna be real angry."No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive.

Calling it "A New Hope" (or more coldly "Episode 4") is for all intents
and purposes necessary in many discussions of the movies as it
helps easily differentiate it from the 5 (or 6) other movies.
EVERYTHING except the "Greedo shooting first" thing---that just totally
changes the Han character introduction and I don't like it.
Interestingly Lucas changed Jabba from his first SE appearance for
subsequent releases of the SE movie---he's not that much bigger
but he looks a lot more like the Jabba from ROTJ than the
first SE take on him."No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive. I think I'll scoot over here right by this winda', let this beautiful carriage rock me to sleep, and dream about how lucky I am." - Chris MannixComment

I did see it in the theater, I was four years old. I believe I saw it that year at least twice. Obviously my memory isn't too clear due to my young age but I can think of two times for sure that I saw it. I know I went to see it several more times but that was during re-releases later in 1978 and so on.
My mom likes to tell the story of when we first saw the film in '77, every time I saw Luke running to do something or other I would quietly ask, "What's Star Wars gonna do now mom?" Apparently I thought Luke's name was "Star Wars", LOL. I was 4, what can I say?Comment

Personally I loved the special editions---each and every addition---
EVERYTHING except the "Greedo shooting first" thing---that just totally
changes the Han character introduction and I don't like it.

I was 2 in 77. So,.. no... never scene it in theaters..
In the 90's or whatever,.. when they re-released them in theaters with the extended footage,.. I did see it in theaters..
I think the Only OSWT I saw in theaters was Jedi.... The Original Knight ..., Often Imitated, However Never Duplicated. The 1st Knight in Customs.
