The first movie I saw in a theater with friends (as opposed to going with my parents) was the original "Star Wars" (now "Star Wars: A New Hope") during its second theatrical release (a few years after the first run). I stopped going to movie theaters in the 1990s until I saw Princess Leia again in last year's "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." Her death saddens me and reminds me of my own mortality, since she was only six years older than me.
