On the poster, a young man stood with some light sword raised, a princess at his feet, numerous spaceships flying all over the place. I saw the first publicized poster and bought the novel adaptation. I remember when I first got wind of the upcoming movie, to open in May of 1977, I think. We ate 'em up since there was nothing else.

"Forbidden Planet" from 1956 came close, and then there were the "Star Trek" and "Lost in Space" TV series, both hampered by dime store budgets and cheesy sets. We'd dream about them at night and try to imagine ourselves in their midst up until then, we could only imagine such things - there were no projected images to realize such dreams. We'd read about them constantly in science fiction novels and short stories - tales of outer space civilizations, of spaceships zooming through asteroid belts, of exotic-looking aliens hanging around space ports. But they'd been there before in our minds. They were instant pop culture icons you got the sense you'd seen them before somewhere, but were sure this wasn't possible. This is where we first met them all: Luke, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Obi-Wan Kenobi (old 'Ben'), Chewbacca, the 2 robots C3PO & R2D2 and, of course, Darth Vader. Though now known as "Episode IV-A New Hope," for many of us, namely those of us who first saw this exhilarating entertainment in theaters back in '77, this will always be the first "Star Wars." We will always think of it as just "Star Wars" - plain & simple, no pretensions, no aspirations to deep film-making or high art.
