1999, i was a 9 yo boy, with my family going to a TPM day 1 in malaysia (can't remember which cinema)
I remember there were a few die-hard fans cosplaying as star wars characters, even ada pak cik cosplay as Ben Kenobi lol
Anyway, as a 9 yo then, i didn't know wtf that movie was about, what i remembered was after the movie finishes, a lot of people were looking depressed, some even cried, u can feel the dark atmosphere after the movie ends. I even remember my father said "bodoh betul cerita ni"
Fast forward years later, i rewatched both trilogies and with the exception of RoTS, prequel trilogy fkin suck
