I was just the right age for Star Wars in 1977 when it dropped on the cinema like a Death Star. I stood in a line, around the block, with my mom and sister at the Coronet Theatre in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district (which, sadly, closed in 2005). Star Wars dethroned the prior year's
Logan's Run another sci fi foible without the rabble-rousing battle-to-the-death parable of good vs. evil. And no tie fighters.
I revisited the original three Star Wars when they were re released in theatre in the 1997. And yes, I am feeling old.
Aneta and Sonnet walk in the door, me in the living room blasting KC & The Sunshine Band's '(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty'.
Aneta:
"I love this crazy family."
