How I wish I saw Star Wars at age 9. I saw it at 17.

My reaction at 17 was "Nice! Nostalgic fun, like the old Flash Gordon movie serials."

My reaction at 9 would have been:

"Whoa! COOOOL!"

Particularly if all you have to compare it to is 1950s and 60s Japanese monster films, Star Trek reruns, King Kong, and Space 1999.

Princess Leia amazed me. It was the first time we had a female heroine who could shoot a gun. Usually they were damsels. Also, no monsters. It was basically a space western with a bit of WWII movies thrown in.

So much is timing.
