Just curious.
How many times have you seen the original Star Wars flick (Episode IV - A New Hope)?
I was there for the unveiling. I don't remember if I saw it the first day it was out, but I attended 23 screenings that first month - sometimes 2 a day.
I have viewed it in several locations over many years (theaters, not tv - and the tv version seems to be the same one) - California, Nevada, Hawaii...
Funny thing - there are differences in the films in different areas. A name here, an inflection there... Different cuts for scenes, that can only be noticed by a fanatic like me. One is an inflection in the voice of Aunt Barru, when she says 'all of his friends have gone'. In one version the emphasis is on the word 'friends', while in the other the emphasis is on the word 'gone'. Another is in the attack on the Death Star. Luke is dogged by a Tie Fighter and mentions Bigg's, but in the other cut it correctly refers to Wedge as the one that is coming to his rescue.
There are several things that are different between the released versions to the theaters.
So anyway, I just watched it again tonight and I was trying to figure the number of times I have seen this film.
It has to be well over 100.
How 'bout you? How many times?
