I find that on this site and most SW sites the age is either 30-40 or 12-18......I wonder if that is a generation gap that is on par with the OT and PT?

Interesting........ ???

Well Cin, I'm fourteen, but I saw the OT first, when the special editions came out in the cinema.

14! So you saw it when you were 4? OT SEs were released in 1997. At least you could understand a little. I saw it at 1 in 1977. Man....time flies! :D

Indeed, but fortunately SW is timeless.

I think I was five, but that's the great thing about Star Wars - It's universal (pun not intended) appeal.

Don;t feel bad Ulic, I was barely 4 when I first saw it in '77. The weird thing is as the years went on and I started playing SW with friends, I was the one who wanted to be Ben Kenobi while everyone else was fighting to be Han, or Luke, I guess Sir Alec really had an effect on me. :)

I must have been a toddler when I first saw Star Wars, and have early memories of flashing green and red swords that I now know to be Luke and Vader's final duel. I also remember being terrified when Luke takes of dying, disfigured Anakin's helmet. I guess that's why I like the final film the most, I was thrown into star wars at the deep end, and it seemed so dark and magical back then.

From then whenever I visited Dad's (my parents divorced when I was 4) we would put on Star wars, and my love for the films really bloomed when the OT was re-released on the big screen, which again my dad took me to see each opening night.

I have both respect and envy for those old enough to have seen ANH back in 77' but occasionally, and never on these forums, you get people resenting people of my age group ( I'm 18 now ) and even people younger who first encontered star wars through the prequals.

I think one of the great thing about star wars is the generation bridge, so many people in situations just like that seeing star wars as a young child with their parents.

And without Star Wars none of us would know one another! How much would that suck!

Actually, I just found out that this was my first movie that I had ever seen. At one, I was running around that theatre also! ;D

Man, I have not changed! :D
