How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Star Wars Special Editions
Sorry, but this is George's vision, not ours Star Wars special I had just turned ten when Star Wars was released in the US in May 1977, but I had to wait almost a year before I got to see it - at the ABC Torquay in April 1978, since you ask. The movie didn't premiere in Britain until December 1977, and in those days movies took a while to make it out of London and into the sticks."
