Saw it in '77, but it wasn't in May...had to wait until July.  Yes, back then, there were only a few copies the toured the theaters.  I had to wait for it to come close to my hometown.

Oh, I was a child of the 70's.  I saw Star Wars in the theater in July.  My cousins from California came to visit, they were excited about this great space movie.  We just happened to get the movie at the theater in the larger town near my hometown during their trip, so my Uncle took all to see it.  I was hooked.   
When ESB came out, I still had to wait weeks for the movie to get close enough for my mother to take us, the wait was endless.
However, when RoTJ opened, I was able to talk my Mother into driving to the Quad Cites (I grew up in a small town in Illinois,) that was over a hour from home on opening day!!  
When opening day for TPM came around, I had 3 of my own kids, so I took the day off, took the kids out of School and even took my Mother to see this movie that continued the story that I grew up with.
Of I did the same for AotC and RotS with my youngest son too.
Now, I get to dress in several of my favorite costumes and share my joy with Joe Public as a member of the 501st Legion.

I wasn't sure what subforum to post this in, but I just got my rebels Thrawn blaster kit and it is awesome!  I went for the kit version for $50, but I think they also sell completed ones.  Not sure of that price.  Easily one of the best purchases I've made!  Here's the link to the etsy store I got it from:

The pic with the hand is mine.
 

 

 

 

 

 

At this point, the basic CRL is almost complete.  That's what the LMO team wants.  We, the IOC, are able to make the L2 and L3 our baby.  We can discuss what we want for L2 and L3 now.
 

The debating on this specific detail is over, the LMO has put the description in writing and we are moving on to other aspects of the CRL.

Excellent!  Welcome all new cadets!  Having some issues?  Need some special assistance?  Well then you're in the right place!!  Ask your questions and use their knowledge, they're begging you.  
 
No question is trivial, everything deserves an answer.

Welcome to the IOC, we're here to help.

To request a personal Advisor, simply reply in this thread using the following format with your information:
Jeff "Lantern2745" Greatens, requesting an advisor in the Green Bay, WI area for help with a Governor Pryce costume.
first name "screen name" last name, requesting an advisor in the city, state, country area for help with a which costume you've chosen
As soon as one of the IOC Advisors is able, they will reply and private message you for more details and to begin helping you.

Greetings Imperial Cadets!  If you are reading this, you have begun or will soon begin constructing one (or more) of the many IOC costumes within the 501st Legion.
The IOC Command Staff, and IOC Advisors are here to help you to be successful in this proccess.
To that end, this area will be for you, Cadet, to ask questions specific to your costume build, and have them answered by an Advisor.
Additionally, if you decide you would like to have one on one mentoring by an Advisor, this section will be here for you to make that request.
 
One question you may already have is, "What's an Advisor?".
An Advisor is a 501st member with an approved IOC costume appointed by IOC Command Staff to assist new members.
 
If you are more comfortable asking questions in a one to one setting, reply in the "Requesting an Advisor" section HERE using the format at the start of that thread.
Upon seeing your request, an Advisor will volunteer to work closely with you as you progress through your build.
Be aware that it may take a day or two for you to be paired with the right Advisor.
 
As a note - When asking a question please do two things;
Make the title to your thread as short, yet detailed as you can.  Don't just title it, "Question" or "Does Anyone Know...".  If it's regarding boots, you could title it, "Will these boots work?" or "How do you care for boots?". Scan the titles of (or preferably read entire) threads that have come before you.  If someone is having or has had the same issue, you may save time (yours, ours, everyone's) by reading before posting.  
Thank you for reading, and we look forward to helping you join the Imperial Officer Corps!
 

Thanks for the great pics Bob!!  I really need to learn to make more free time at these for pics myself...lol!
