I was ten back in 1977, and so my parents hesitated at the beginning because it was rated PG. It was a pretty violent movie with Kenobi’s sabre action in the cantina, the camera showing the severed limb. So it had been out for a month before our small town cinema showed it, and man, was I blown away! All of a sudden I was vacillating between Star Trek and Star Wars, my imagination was set ablaze. I also recall getting the novel and so that may be why sometimes I thought I remembered Luke first meeting Biggs in Anchorhead. But there were always rumors that the very first release had more of Luke at the beginning due to studio pressure, which Lucas cut out when he had the chance.
