Like many people who read or write for a Star Wars website, I don’t remember life without the saga. I was only about a year and a half when the first film hit theaters; to my ever-lasting regret, my parents elected not to take their infant to see a movie about space wizards and laser swords in 1977. I’d have to wait for a network airing that preempted my usual Friday night viewing, which I vaguely remember was initially upsetting … until that legendary opening shot.
