And the World Changed

On this day in 1977, "Star Wars" was released. (link).

I remember having the audio tape and listening to it on a bus to Belgium with the Scouts. I have no idea when I first saw the film, probably when it came to TV, as the cinema in Stornoway was closed for years.

Life was never the same after "Star Wars".

And, yes, it was "Star Wars", not "Episode 3", or "A New Hope". Just "Star Wars". Life was simpler, the story was a good one, and no-one bothered arguing about stupid little things like badges on uniforms. But then, were we happier? Yes, of course we were!
