So what RPGs were you playing before 1977, Darth? I assume D&D, as there wasn't much around then.
And I remember watching A New Hope (then "Star Wars") numerous times back in '77. But I thought that extended scene (with a fat guy playing Jabba) was only added back in for the Special Editions. Did you work in the film industry (or for Lucasfilm or something), such that you got to see that scene filmed? |
I was training as a projectionist and was there for the first showings up in Michigan. Those were the good days. We had shut the theater down for three days just to install the new Dolby surround system and it was amazing. Not to mention the 56 cent per gallon gas  |

Sorry I missed your response earlier, Darth.
That's really cool that you got to see Star Wars so early! I too saw it in the summer of '77, but it was after hearing friends rave about how awesome it was! 8)
Was there a role-playing game you played back then? You said "I've been playing various RPG's since BEFORE episode IV was released cause I remember the docking port scene in a slightly different setting."
I first played D&D in '79, and I hadn't even heard of role-playing games back then.
