1977. My husband was teaching a summer session at our community college. He came home one day saying that his students were recommending he go see this movie that was showing in Hollywood. I had seen the trailer - bunch of no-name actors- and wasn't interested but HEY, a day out so OK. We stood in line and I saw Alec Guiness on the poster and thought, "Well, this might not be too bad." We were at a theater with sensaround and heard the rebel ship go over us in perfect sync with the screen, and then the Imperial ship behind it. The theater shook and I was hooked. Also not a top level geek, but did raise two kids to be huge fans and just bought my grandson what he wanted for his 6th birthday, the Falcon 25th Lego set. Favorite memory of fandom: Took my older son to Disneyland and sat with him at the Tomorrowland Terrace to watch Padawan training. Son was in late 20s early 30s. His face when the stage rose with Vader and Darth Maul. Priceless.
I remember thinking that Imperial Cruiser at the beginning was the biggest ship I've ever seen. It just went on and on and on. It was an amazing movie!
Wonderful memories 💚💙
We saw the first movie sitting front row center. The only seats left. When the words started we were in awe! Then the ship! WOW! Love the storm troopers, but my favorite are the droids that are minding their business doing what they do in the middle of blasters going off!😊
Chris is like the Mr. Rogers of the Disney vloggers, so seeing him pick the dark side feels wrong. 🤭 Thank you for sharing the fun time you had!
That's the good think about Disney, even the villains are likable and fun to play as.
For those of you wondering…is Chris this nice and jolly in person? No.
J/K-He’s an angel. The sweetest person ever ❤
I think a common thread among all Star Wars fans is that usually a loved one, friend or family member introduced them to the movies at a young age and will always remember that first time watching them. I think that, above all is the main thing that Star Wars is all about.
Story time: We were a newly married couple living overseas with a newborn. One particularly restless night, I was at my limit and desperate for sleep. My husband said “Let me take the baby,” and he went to the living room and put on “A New Hope”. Miraculously, it soothed our wailing baby and I was able to get some much needed rest.
Thus began the special relationship between my husband and my daughter. Seven years later, we are preparing to attend The Season of The Force as a family, and our kid could not be more excited to share it with her Dad. And it just fills my heart to witness their joint love for all things Star Wars. Thank you for sharing, Chris. May the Force be with you!
Chris! You talking about your mum really made me want to hug you. It's such a beautiful story. For me it's the opposite, my mother wasn't a huge Star Wars fan, but she was very supportive of my obsession. She joined me in the cinema for a showing of Episode 3, we watched the other movies together at home. She has sewn stuff for my projects (Yoda robes, Stormtrooper belts), everything. I am just as lucky as you are, having been raised by an amazing mother. Sadly she became one with the Force three years ago. She left a hole for sure, but also a ton of fond memories! So here's to Star Wars, to family and to the Light Side triumphing (even if the Dark Side has the cooler outfits ;))
My mother and sister met Chris during the party, and my mom sent me a pic of them and said she's famous. They both said Chris was very kind and made the night even better. Thank you, Chris
It was my pleasure. 💚💙
JIMMY GOOD!!!!!!!!!
Loved seeing the jimmy cameo!
I lost my mom on July 31, 1980 at 11:45pm. Almost 44 years ago. She past right in front of me, I watched her pass away. Still to this day I cry everytime I think about her. I love you mom....❤❤❤
Thank you Chris and your family for what you do.... ❤❤❤ to your family.
❤❤❤
WooHoo! Jimmy Good!
Great video Chris. It's fun to see the same event from other perspectives. Thank you for sharing your experience ✨
I was in the movie theater in 1997 (11 years old) when I first saw that infamous Star Wars crawl opening and I have been hooked ever since. Fast forward and my daughter joins the Disney College program and is then asked to help open Galaxy's Edge. As a cast member, she was invited to the preview day and chose me to be her "plus one". I cried like a baby (and am getting choked up now!) as we walked into GE as the second group ever to do so. I will never, ever forget that day!
5:55 Oh Good, you met up with Jimmy. Thanks for showing us Star Wars Nite Chris. Loved all the John Williams music.
I love how there's just multiple cuts of Chris mid-sentance and then "HI HOW ARE YOU!?". Chris is such an absolutely joy to meet and speak to.
My daughter and i were just commenting on that!!!!!!!
One day, maybe we will be so lucky!!!!!
i truly appreciate you showing this night. i love star wars so much and relate to the story with your mother. i lost my mom back in 2012 when i was 17 to cancer. she introduced me to star wars and disney, and it’s molded me into the woman i have become now.
i miss her everyday. she was one of the kindest humans i know. even though our time together was short, i appreciate the 17 years i had with her.
thank you for this, for real. her 12 year anniversary is on 4/28.
I truly appreciate your kind and encouraging words in ALL your videos, and I love that you will stop what you're doing to say hello to everyone that says hi and recognizes you. Your heart is HUGE, may you continue to have success and favor because of that.
Love this video! Man that SORIN music at the very end is giving me Nostalgia!! I got to sprint to Disney soon!
Great video, Chris!
Beautiful, touching story about you and your Mom going to see Star Wars together.
I shed some bittersweet tears, heres why:
I grew up in Sunnyvale, CA. Parents divorced when I was 9 and I'm an only child.
In the summer of '77 when I went to visit my Dad who moved to Illinois, he took me to see Star Wars.
IT BLEW... ME... AWAY!!!
Lost my Dad to dementia 5 years ago. I now live in Illinois and every time I drive by that theater, it always makes me smile.
Always appreciate the positivity you spread. Keep it up. The world sure does need it!

My son and I went last year on May 4, and had a blast getting on all the rides that usually have long lines. We did all of them repeatedly and skipped all the other activities because for us the value of the ticket was to actually be able to ride rides and not stand in lines. This year I’m enjoying it as a cat member. The guest were amazing and I think they were way more costumes this year than they were last year. Great times!
The cut away to Kermit, sooo funny. Thank YOU for being so kind and genuine!
I thank you so much for reminding us about the holes in our hearts. You are spot on with truth! The love is there and you help fill those holes every day! Thank you Chris!!! Much respect, love, and JOY!!!
Hi Chris! Thank you SO MUCH for this video! I love em all! Two reasons this one really extra, extra hit home with me... Star Wars and I also have amazing memories of my parents taking me to see A New Hope in the theater, like five times!. I was 10 years old and they fully supported how CRAZED I became after seeing just that first movie. Sadly, I have lost both my parents now but Star Wars was something we all enjoyed and looked back on fondly. I too was mesmerized by the Stormtroopers. As you said, SLEEK! When I purchased my first set of screen accurate Stormtrooper armor, I went to my mom's house, knocked on the door and told her to show me identification. She didn't know what to do! THANK YOU for all the amazing insights and tips. I really hope to see you in the park someday!!!
Before Mark Hamill became Luke Skywalker he was an actor on the soap opera General Hospital. I used to watch it when I got home from high school and had a crush on him. I wrote him a fan letter and he responded with a hand written letter. It’s still one of my most prized possessions. And I love all things Star Wars.
Why are you making me cry during a Star Wars Nite vlog?! 😭 It's really great to see a vlogger who just enjoys being at the parks, enjoys the simple things, and does what they want to do while there. I find vlogs so much more enjoyable when the creator is enjoying their day too. Thanks for an awesome video and getting me pumped for Star Wars Nite next week!
I remember my dad taking me to the first Star Wars movie the weekend it opened in 1977. My brothers were still too young to attend and stayed home with mom. Perfect dad and daughter day! A memory I treasure always!
I’m a new mom, and I’m watching this video on the tv as I’m holding my baby as he takes a nap. And hearing the story about your mom moved me enough to go on my phone and type this out. I’ve been struggling to bond with my son and we are taking him to Disney next week (dressed as an Ewok of course lol) besides the point. I’ve always struggled to think about the impact my parenting will have in my sons life. But watching you as an adult in Disneyland stopping to reminisce in a so beautiful memory that you hold with your mom put me in tears. And I haven’t stopped crying since. I’m looking down at my son hoping to one day be the mom you had growing up. Sending you much love and support. And also my lash bill since I’m crying a day after getting them done lol 😂❤
💖Loved the story of you and your mom watching Star Wars 💖(Fun seeing Jimmy Good!)
We saw Kanye walk by but my bf and I were only interested in meeting you!
Thank you for being such a kind human being! Your comments mean so much to so many people. I almost shed a tear listening to your touching story of your Star Wars memories with your mom. Don't ever change! Love you!
I've seen every Star Wars movie on opening night with my two brothers. They are my best friends and we are all fans. But my favorite movie is The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. When my son was about 18 months old, we were trying to get him to take a nap. My dad said to put on a movie and he would hold my son and watch the movie. My son quickly fell asleep, but my dad continued watching Pooh, with my son in his lap laughing through the whole movie. My dad is long since gone and now my son has a son of his own, but I can still hear my dad laughing every time I watch the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.
We loved going to Star Wars Weekends at Hollywood Studios with our boys. One time we slept on the concrete outside the entrance to be in line early enough to get a fast pass for an autograph from Billy Dee Williams. Our boys wool dress in full costume and they got to be in a Club Penguin Star Wars commercial on the Disney channel. We loved the Hyperspace Hoopla!
Thanks for sharing,Chris. My mom died just this year,on February 14th. I remember that she let me go to see Star Wars in 1977,and though I love Star Trek too. I love both and thank my mom for letting me see both.
Hey Chris, thank you for the moment you shared about your memory with your mom! I felt you talking to me, I lost my mom a little over a year ago, so thank you for your kind words. Side note: after moving in with my now husband, one thing we did (during pandemic) was marathon watch all 9 Star Wars movies. It was a real bonding experience! We love watching you and when we first ran into you in person we truly fan boy'd over you! Hope to run into you again in summer!
My parents took me to see Star Wars when I was 7. I knew it was a big deal but I didn't really understand how big a deal it was. I didn't know I was supposed to be scared by any of it, and during the trash compactor scene I laughed at the monster because I thought it was funny. I didn't understand why no one else was laughing and my mom was shushing me... My family didn't have a lot of money, so I only got to see it that one time in the theater, but then the summer it landed on HBO I practically lived at at a friend's house watching Star Wars over and over again. These days it's a bit hard for me to make it to the park for an event like that, but thank you so much for sharing!
Summer 1977 i spent with my grandma who lived in champaign, Illinois. She absolutely was not a star wars fan, but she took me to see the movie as soon as it came out. Such a special memory for me.
Chris it was SO wonderful to see you in the airport and share a flight with you. I am glad you got to have this experience!! The story of you and your mom is everything🥲. I hope you never forget that. Gosh Darn it, you made me cry. My dad went to every opening night when the first ones were released. Then when the new ones started to be released, he and I went to EVERY opening night of the Star Wars films starting with Phantom Menace. The last one, I bought us t-shirts to wear. He never got to see Batuu. I bought him a shirt from Galaxies Edge and gave it to him two weeks before he died. To this day, we don't know what happened to that shirt. He's been gone two and a half years now.
Chris thank you so much for being you. Your love and honest heart for others is so rare and we love you and amanda so much for that. we especially love how kind you are in real life. this past year my daughter saw you ran to give you a hug and you welcomed her with open arms paused your filming. you are both a true treasure🤍💜
Thank you I saw the original star wars with my dad he is not with us anymore but it is a nice memory
I saw Star Wars August of 1977. Sometime after that the movie soundtrack was released, a double album. A local record store had Darth Vader signing the album. Of course I was there, Darth Vader was my favorite from day one. When I saw the 9th movie, Lando Calrissian said of the festival they visited, “They hold this festival every 43 years.” I cried, it was 43 years ago when I saw the first movie.
Thank you for sharing this video with us, I was so happy watching it, had happy tears in my eyes.😊
My son was and still is a huge Star Wars fan. He had a Hans Solo action figure. He was always putting it a cup of water and putting it in the freezer!😁
My first memory of Star Wars was my aunt took me and my two cousins to see A New Hope in the theaters. I was instantly hooked. From there I had all the toys and saw all the movies. Now, I have kids and have enjoyed watching them grow up with their Star Wars. We were fortunate enough to travel on the Galactic Star Cruiser twice and there are no words to express how amazing it was to not only watch Star Wars with my boys but to be IN Star Wars. It was absolutely priceless. Star Wars continues to have a very special place with our family.
I love Star Wars! My children love Star Wars and now, my grandchildren live Star Wars. Thank you for allowing us to participate in this event with you.
Such amazing memories with your mom. Thank you for sharing
Star Wars is the very first motion picture I've seen I was 8 years old. it too holds a very special place in my life as well.
This video means so much to me.. I loved your story about you and your Mom going to see Star Wars for the first time,, * I just completed the 6th grade in 1977 and my Mom said she was going to take my little brother and I to see Star Wars as a celebration treat. Oh my gosh! It changed my life from there on. I collected every action figure and toy and record album I could.. It is such a wonderful and magical memory thinking about how I saw Star Wars the first time. I have been the biggest Star Wars nerd ever since. Two years ago I lost both my Mom and little Brother.. I miss them so much.. The nostalgia of all this is wonderful. I must say that Chris is about the kindest person you could ever meet. 😊 Thank you and your family for your wonderful videos, Chris.
My daddy was a huge sci-fi buff and Star Wars fan. My very first memory of seeing a movie in a theater was Return of the Jedi with my daddy, momma, and infant baby brother. I LOVED it! And I cried all the way home because I wanted an Ewok…and actual Ewok! 😆 My daddy passed away when I was 8 years old, and I have continued to be a huge Star Wars fan. It makes me feel close to him. ❤️
I LOVE how the park map has that Star Wars hologram look to it for this event. Lovely little touch.
That’s an awesome story. I remember in the theater with my dad at the end of empire strikes 198? . Luke I’m your father I was 5 or so and I can still remember how the audience reacted and how my dad reacted. Love the original Star Wars. Also remember playing in the snow with my dad on a road trip. I happen to have a few star wars toys. Several of those figures died in battle that day we barried them in the snow and left them on the battle field. When my father passed back in 2018 I told my friends to call there dad because time is short. The first 3 friends I talked said they didn’t talk to their dad. It’s sad but that helped me realize how blessed I was to have a life long relationship. Still sad he’s gone but that sadness is special super special it’s a reminder how blessed I am to have that relationship.
Chris you are honestly one of the nicest people on RUclips. With all the junk out there you and your family are a breath of fresh air. I hope I get the chance to meet you in person as that would make my Disney day experience even that much better. Have a blessed day and thank you for always thinking of others and their struggles. Take care brother. Cheers
I was a huge Sci-fi fan from an early age because my Grandfather had a huge collection of science fiction novels and I read them all. I watched every sci-fi movie that every came out on TV too. But when I got to see the first Star Wars movie, when it hit the theaters in1977, I was completely blown away. It was like no other. And, it was the first time I'd ever heard of lines that wrapped around the block to see a movie. That was Seattle in 1977 and a total game changer.
I think my absolute favorite part of your videos are your cuts because of genuinely happy interactions with people! That or maybe you always have a story or give a uplifting sentiment that seems to always hit the feels button just right! I was on vacation leaving the park that night when you were showing up! Just missed you!!!
I love to see your excitement for this after hours event. Your joy brightens my day every time.
Thank you for sharing that part about your loved ones. I lost a loved one recently and it really helped. I’m grieving worse than expected. I watched this because I love Star Wars and Disney and you were able to give me something more.
Thank you.
My husband has been a lifelong Star Wars fan and for about 15 years hoped I would one day give it a try. Knowing how much it means to him last year we started watching everything in chronological order. Clone Wars is what hooked me. I WISH I would have given the space wizards a chance sooner 😂 In all seriousness though it really is an awesome universe and I love being able to share this with my husband!
One of my favorite highlights of the night was meeting you and how amazingly friendly you were to me while in line for the light side and then when my darkside wife came you showed her much love also. We really appreciate you.
Your story about Star Wars reminds me of my dad. My dad took me to see the first Star Wars movie as a kid and I loved it. He always talked about how I made him take me to see Star Wars seven times! I know he loved having me fall in love with Star Wars to go so many times. Still one of my favorite memories with him.
No memory except playing with Star Wars toys with my grandson when he was little ❤️. But I really wanted to tell you that you are amazing and special. If I ever am blessed enough to meet you I hope you would be ok if I gave you a hug. Thank you for being you and we love your family also ❤️
1999, I’m 8 years old and watching Episode 1 in the movie theater with my mom. Not my first memory, but a very fond one. We saw Episode 2 together also! My dad’s gone now, but I’ve still got her. ❤️ Hope to see you at the D23 at Disneyland event in August, my first trip to Disneyland ever and it’d be awesome to say hi in person!
I get such a kick out of watching you enjoy Vader and the stormtroopers. Keep having fun.
in 1977 I was 8 and my brother was 7. We had spent a couple of weeks with my moms parents(getting spoiled)! My parents went and saw Star Wars while we were gone and agreed they had to take us to see it when we got back! We did, and it was life changing for us! We didn't see any other movie the rest of the year, just Star Wars over and over and over! Then we had to have the toys, of course! Then every movie after that! My brother and his wife were in the Star Wars magazine, cause one of their wedding announcement photos was them dressed as Han and Leia standing in front of our friends life size Darth Vader. She wore my Leia costume! Love going to Batuu so much! My brother has a Star Wars room in his house! So does our friend Lyle! He was super jealous when I won the life size Darth Maul. I called and left a message that I won him. When the phone rang later and I answered it Lyle was like I hate you!! and I was oh you got my message!! My mom is a bigger fan than my dad, but he will still see the movies ,and watch the series on Disney+. Really its still a big part of our lives! We LOVE Star Wars!
Thank you for the beautiful memories you shared about your mom. Mine was with my dad, he took me to go see it in 1977 (I was 9), and it was the only movie we ever went to with just the two of us. He passed in 2019 at the age of 94, and he was the most amazing person I’ve ever known. So Star Wars has a very special place in my heart, I’m going to Star Wars Nite on 5/2 with my 29yr old son, just the two of us!😊
I was 12 when the very first movie came out and was obsessed! Saw it 4 times that summer in the theater, which was a lot back then... 😂 Loved it then and still do. I'm retiring soon 🎉 and hope to attend this event next year!!!
My favorite memory of star wars is watching it in theaters with my mom, very special for me
For me Star Wars is not only a great movie franchise but it makes me feel a sense of pride and inspiration. George Lucas is from my home town and I couldn’t be prouder to say so. I also feel so inspired by Lucas. Even someone from a small town like mine can create something that can greatly impact the world.
Awesome!!! I so want check out Star Wars night! My Star Wars memory.... I'm in highschool sitting in a boring class right after lunch, when suddenly one of my best friends who's a senior at the time walks in the class with a paper in his hand, gives it to the teacher, then the teacher looks in my direction and calls me up. "Jimmy, looks like you're excused for the rest of the afternoon". As soon as my friend and I walk out of the classroom, he tells me " Dude, let's go see the Phantom Menace". We hopped in his Bronco and took off to the mall to catch an afternoon showing of Phantom Menace. Totally awesome!!!! Movie finished just in time for my buddy to drop me off at school at the last bell. Mom pulls up " How was school?"..... "Awesome Mom". LOL!!! I felt just like Pinocchio returning to Geppetto from Pleasure Island. Ahhh yes..... So fun!
I teared up when you shared your mother’s Star Wars movies experience. What a lovely moment!
Im glad you got to experience this Chris. I honestly didnt even know star wars nite is a thing but now I do and I need to go.
Saw the first Star Wars in Seattle on July 4th 1977. Came out of the theatre around 10pm (blown away by the movie), and the Seattle Fire works started. One of the best fortunate accidents ever!
Star Wars is special for me too. It was a thing my Dad and I always bonded over. He was the Vader to my Leia and most of my fondest memories of us have to do with Disney trips and Star Wars stuff. I lost my dad 6 years ago and it's hard to go to the Parks and. Ot cry remembering him having fun there. He would sit in EPCOT all day long when they came down to see me working at WDW except for days when I performed, then he was in the theater seeing every show I did!
My love for Star Wars began similar to Chris’s. My very first memory is my dad taking me to the cinema to see Star Wars in 1977-78. I was 3 years old and stood in the seat next to him so I could see. Remember the tie fighters and x-wings zooming through space. I was mesmerized by Darth Vader. I have been a fan ever since. Fortunately, my husband and son (Miles😊) is too! We’re traveling from Texas to attend the May 7 Star Wars Nite. Can’t wait!!! ❤❤❤
It was so wonderful to watch you enjoy this so much! Choked up while you talked about your mom! Your mom is so sweet!
25:40 I envy you, Chris. I'm a big Star Wars fan too. Huge. I joined the 501st because I love wearing Star Wars costumes. But I envy you because I don't have my first memory of watching Star Wars. My earliest memory of Star Wars is popping in the VHS for Empire the wrong way around, lol. Now, as an adult, I crave other people's Star Wars stories and share in their joy while they reminisce in their first memory. In a way, I'm vicariously a first memory of Star Wars through them.
Just wanted to say I was very touched when you mentioned going to Star Wars with your mom. My parents took my brother and I to all three original movies. We loved Star Wars so much that when The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi came out, they got me and my brother out of school early to see the very first showing of those films the day they opened. I recently lost my dad to dementia and he was bedridden for a while before he passed. The last movie I watched with him while he was here was The Empire Strikes Back. These movies were truly magical.
I always learn something from you. Thank you very much! It's great that you overcame your nervousness and attended for the first time. I am proud of you, Chris, and you inspire us all!
My brother, my Cousin and I went to the first showing of Star Wars in Austin, Texas. We sat in a theater with about 15 people and watched it. We loved it so much that we turned around and bought tickets again. So we watched the first and the second showing at that theater (the only theater in town showing it.) with about 20 or so people. When we came out after the second showing the line for the movie the line for tickets went around the theater and down the street. To this day, I will never forget this and its something the three of us share and we have repeated that story whenever anyone asks what our special memory is of Star Wars.
What a great memory. 💚💙
Hearing your story about your mom got me teary-eyed :) So relatable bc I have a vague memory of watching Star Wars in the movie theater when I was little with my parents. I remember sitting in the movie theater trying to read the LONG intro and brief snippets of Darth Vader and Yoda, and totally loving the Ewoks. My husband and son both love the Star Wars franchise, and my daughter understands our love for it :)) We went to our first Star Wars Nite last year and I sewed my son's costume! He even wore it before and after the event. Thank you for always bringing positivity to your videos! Love, love, love your videos!
Good to see you there!
Chris, thank you so much for showing Star Wars Night! Going to a Star Wars Night either on or near May 4th is number one on my bucket list to do after I retire. I remember seeing Star Wars in a 2 story theater. We sat at the edge of the balcony. Seeing the ships from that high up was awe inspiring. The movie changed my life. When Return of the Jedi came out, I skipped school and got in line at 6:30am to be the first one through the door. It is still my All time favorite movie. Now I am so lucky to live when’re part of the movie was filmed. Yes, I live in the Endor forest! Now how cool is that for a long time Star Wars geek to do! When my children were old enough, I shared the joy of the trilogy with them. Now my son will get to share them with his son!!!
Wearing the lanyard isn't mandatory. Wristband is the ticket, not the lanyard. We didnt wear our lanyards during Disney Channel nite and no one ever asked to see them.
I'm younger but I remember Star Wars was something that my Dad and I did together. I was so excited when he got us tickets to opening night for the episode 2 with Anakin.
That first scene of 3PO and R2 crossing running the hallway is my first memory too!!! Also Vader was terrifing. I was 9 then, didn' t know what was going on either ha ha ha, that was lovely, greatest mom!! Thank you for sharing
Petition for Chris to take his Mom to Star Wars nite next year! I may have shed a few tears when you told your story of why Star Wars means so much to you. So excited to go next week for my yearly Disneyland trip with my mom. I hold these memories so dear to me.
Hello Chris, your post really inspired me to take my 10 year old drr and my mother to Stat Wars Nite. Thank you for opening up your heart and always incorporating positivity!!!
You too are AMAZING ❤
My favorite Star Wars movie story is two fold...The first movie I can remember seeing by myself is Star Wars...The first time I saw the panning view of spaceship coming across the screen...I was hooked....The second is ongoing..my two children(both grown) are big Star Wars fans...we would always plan on seeing the movies as they came out..and continue to have that in common...discussing why they are good..why other suck...it just means everything to us.....
What fun! The only thing missing is/was Amanda! Love your story/memories of you and your Mom.
God bless you,
Uncle Martin
My favorite memory about Star Wars. Is one. My dad has always told me when he showed me empire strikes back. When Darth Vader say Luke, I am your father. Apparently I stood there for about a minute and then just say “No way”
Loved the memory you shared with your mom. Highlight of the video.
Thank you Chris, for this look at the special night! Your "tour" is the best one I've seen!! It was my Senior year in high school in 1977 and I went to watch Star Wars with a group of friends. I LOVED it!! That same weekend, my parents went with another couple as a date night. My dad had not been to a movie theatre since he was a young teenager. A couple of days later while at work, he was injured in an accident that severely broke his leg. He had to have multiple surgeries and was in a cast my entire senior year. We always laughed and said it was because of that dang Star Wars... I liked to think he was a wounded Rebel soldier fighting in the Rebellion. We all have memories attached to it, good or bad, as it was such a momentous cultural phenomenon.
Met you last night after seeing emperor palpatine, I had the empire hat on. Honestly you’re one of the most sweetest people I have ever met! Thanks for being so kind as well as genuinely enjoying conversing with us.❤️
It was my pleasure 💚💙
I was a senior in high school, and my friends an I wanted to go to the movies. They all told me I needed to see Star Wars. I whined about it, no I don’t like science fiction, it’s not my thing, can’t we see something else? They dragged me into the theater and in the first minute, I was in love with it! It’s still my favorite of all the SW movies.
My Aunt who was a HUGE Sci fi fan, took me out of 1st grade that day to go see Star Wars, I was 6 years old. We went opening day May 25th 1977, remember it like yesterday. We got to the theater at 7 a.m she bought me chocolate milk and doughnut holes. I took a nap in the car before the movie first showing! Since then out of 11 SW movies, I've seen 10 opening day or midnight showing. And have lost count how many times I've seen the original Trilogy..
I am 78 years old and I still remember my mothers happiness whenever a new Star Wars movie came out. She insisted on going to the first showing. No matter how long the line was. She asked us to drop her off and go park the car, and then go find her so we could be in line too. She was fascinated with Star Wars!
❤ So many Star Wars memories for me and hopefully more to come! One of my favorite classes in high school was my honors English class where we studied the original 3 movies and explored the good vs evil, light vs dark and all of the symbolism.
Mr Toad is certainly a ride Vader would go on.
Hey that’s me blocking Chris’ shot with my big head 15:23 !!
The first time I saw Star Wars was in 1977 we lived in Germany at the time (my dad was in the military, who 's been gone now 24 years) and we saw it in luxemburg in a theartre that was the IMAX before IMAX was a thing I was so inammered with it, being partially deaf it was sound that I could actaully hear with no problem. We saw the first 3 movies together and I had so many action figure ....still have a few. I love everything star wars and have gotten my children (now 32 & 27) and my grand kiddos ( 9 & 5 who now love Lego Star Wars )into it as well will always remember the very first time seeing New Hope. Love all your vidoes 💜

Chris, that was a beautiful story of you and your mom, thank you for sharing. My mom and I share a similar story about watching Star Wars for the first time. She thought I'd enjoy it, so when the Special Edition released, we stood in line for hours at the local theater, and it's been a tradition to watch every movie since opening weekend. It's one of my most precious memories
