1. I saw it the first day it opened in Amarillo.

There were maybe five people in the theater, sci-fi was not big in Amarillo. Within a week the news was full of the long lines and sold out screenings in NYC, LA, and Chicago, and soon it was sold out in Amarillo too.

2. He was one good looking guy.

3. Ye gods, has it been that long?!?

Wish we could that original theatre release version, not the improved ones Lucas did as the years passed.

[Faux pas]

4. Lol

I remember a story Harrison Ford told about Mark long days ago. They were getting ready to shoot a scene and Mark asked if his hair looked OK. Harrison told him "kid if all the audience is looking at is your hair, we've got much bigger problems!"

5. That sounds like Harrison Ford!

[Faux pas]

7. I loved it and still do.

I was laughing the whole time I was typing it.

6. Kinda funny

My wife's grandfather was a set builder and worked with Harrison. Last time he saw him he said he was "off to do some space movie", little did he know.

[Faux pas]

8. That's funny

"some space movie".

9. Harrison Ford is the coolest guy on the planet.

I love how, underneath that grumpy old man exterior, beats a heart of solid gold.

[Faux pas]

10. For sure Aristus!

11. Hey, neighbor!

[Faux pas]

12. How about that, huh?

Lol had to check. How's the weather over there?

[Ilsa]

13. The success of SW Ep 4 and this genre provided a cover story

for Tony Mendez (CIA) to go to Iran to rescue American diplomats hiding in the Canadian ambassador's home in 1979 or 80. Ben Affleck starred as Mendez in the film about this, Argo.
