I certainly remember the original Star Wars film. I remember it because my dad gave me quite possibly the best birthday present ever.

He took me to the second opening at Mann’s Chinese Theater on August 3rd, 1977 (my birthday). My dad knew a few people at Mann’s and scored us tickets. And I got to see C3PO, R2-D2 and Darth Vader place their footprints in the cement in the forecourt.

So that was my eighth birthday present.
