I remember seeing The Empire Strikes back in the back of my parents' station wagon at the drive in. (It was coupled with The Man from Snowy River I think. How weird...)

I fit into the same demographic as your husband - I was 10 (about to be 11 in 14 days) when it came out and over the next few years, I probably saw Star Wars in the theater over 15 times (it's probably closer to 20 now, not counting the times I've seen it on TV, VHS, and DVD in all of its incarnations).Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11639207617561248454noreply@blogger.com
