Writing over at Coffee With Kenobi Rob Wainfur takes a look at the reasons why Star Wars weaved its magic and shaped his childhood.
I was either five or six being either 1977 or 1978 when Star Wars first hit our cinemas here in South Wales. In those days, there always seemed to be a huge gap between US releases and the rest of the world. Anyway I had never heard of Star Wars and out of the blue my brother, who is sadly no longer with us asked if I would like to go and see this space film. Any trip to the cinema back then was like someone taking you to a magical land. Of course I said yes.
