    It might be a new hope, but I couldn’t imagine when or where I saw it.

    I still remember my dad renting a vcr to watch empire strikes back. It was well after the release of the Return of the Jedi, but it was the first time we used a VCR.

    My family wasn’t poor, but money was tight and so we turned it into a huge home theater experience with lots of special foods and unlimited soda. The last half was basically non-stop terror for me and I loved every minute of it.

    I remember being more surprised that Luke lost his hand than Darth Vader being his father. My little kid brain just figured, yeah, that makes sense; not a lot of other potential dad figures lying around.
