  • First Star Wars Memory
    Sitting in a dark theater listening to an audience of adults including my mom go "awwww" as R2-D2 got ion blasted by the Jawas -- and then erupting in laughter the next instant, when he tumbled to the ground with a sound like a trash can falling off the back of a truck (trash cans were metal in 1979).

  • Favorite Scene
    The Mos Eisely cantina sequence in A New Hope; a couple of brief, but memorable altercations in a room full of fantastic, half-glimpsed characters, all with their own story to be told.
