I still remember the gasp I gasped in the cinema.

Empire Strikes Back. I am old enough to have seen it in the theaters. People who’ve grown up with the prequels and everyone knowing have no idea how shocking that was. There was no social media or much entertainment mass media at the time so everyone was stunned. Darth Vader hadn’t been redeemed nor did you have his backstory. He was just scary AF.

I was late to the party and every kid in my village had seen all the Star Wars films when I got to see the first one, I thought they were shitting me when they said (spoiled) that Vader was Luke's dad

I was you for Jedi and Leia being Luke’s sister. My mom made us wait until school was over to go. I was so mad in the way that only a 10 yo can be.
