   Similarly, I had seen a blurb on the national news that showed a clip   
   of Luke and Han shooting at the 2 Tie fighters. @ of my friends and I   
   needed something to do so we went to see it. It was a rather empty   
   theater since the buzz hadn't yet hit our town.   
      
   I sat mesmerized from the moment the giant destroyer scrolled on and   
   on across the screen. Finally, someone had made my dream SF movie!
