It was Episode IV when released in the theater I went to. During that summer, my parents would drop me off at the matinee and pick me up after two or three run throughs.I saw Star Wars when first came out over 25 times in the 70(?) mm format. I didn't count the times I saw it at 35mm theaters. I dragged all my girlfriends (separately of course) as well as my folks to see it. I was able to quote the Jawas. It was not episode 4 when first released in 1977(?).
It's an amazing movie my dad introduced me to. He was a big John Wayne fan and this movie is incredible. I agree with you 100% in your your interpretation of the movie with the music and the theme in the background and everything even with the models of the ships and how they were put together yes it's a suspension of belief but still it's an incredible movieIn Harm's Way (1965). Every time I see it, I remember why I watch it like I do. All star cast, terrific music, and decent storyline. It's even older than me![]()
When Star Wars first came out in 1977 it was just Star Wars not number four or anything like that just Star Wars.It was Episode IV when released in the theater I went to. During that summer, my parents would drop me off at the matinee and pick me up after two or three run throughs.
The world was a different place.
Wasn't the script at the start still "Episode IV"?When Star Wars first came out in 1977 it was just Star Wars not number four or anything like that just Star Wars.
The one I saw in 1977 was Episode IV. I had the program. We thought it was weird. What happened to the first three?Wasn't the script at the start still "Episode IV"?
We're referring to the monologue at the beginning, not the title of the movie (although you are correct about that). It starts "Episode IV:"When Star Wars first came out in 1977 it was just Star Wars not number four or anything like that just Star Wars.
EXACTLY!The one I saw in 1977 was Episode IV. I had the program. We thought it was weird. What happened to the first three?
And? How was it?Watched Project Hail Mary yesterday
At the risk of cliche, it wasn't as good as the book. There were some deviations and some additions, neither of which I felt were necessary but then again, they didn't ruin it. Largely followed the book. I still enjoyed but am glad I read the book first. It would be interesting to get the perspective of someone who hasn't read the book.And? How was it?
