(Yes, I am a terrible, terrible person)

I was just watching Return of the Jedi with my boy last night, and between his accident and surgery, Hammill aged a lot just between Empire and Jedi. He still makes for a great Joker though.

1977 was a long time ago in a neighborhood far, far away.

I was 25 then, and remember the first time seeing it. It was great again. Probably watch "Empire Strikes Back" tonight, and no, I didn't stay home on Friday and Saturday nights in 1977.

Had heard about it first from none other than Gene Roddenberry, in 1976 at the Chicago Star Trek convention Gene was on stage and he said he had been hearing about a kid from California making a space movie.

Cost me $1.75 at the Wisconsin Theater.
The theater is long gone, it's now a parking lot.
