A New Hope (#1.20)
ComedyFan20103 November 2017
Warning: Spoilers
The guys go to watch Star Wars and like it so that Kelso goes with Jackie to see it all the time. Red thinks he is getting his full time job at the plant back. But Eric finds out from David Millbank, the guy that he is fighting for Donna that in reality his father plans to shut down the plant.

Well it was a fun Star Wars episode. All the imaginations with them in different roles. Loved Kitty vacuuming. And it was also great to see the time people saw Star Wars for the first time.

We'll see how it goes with Red now since that job was important for them to keep the home. And also how it will be with Eric and Donna after he had this fight.

This is the Episode that got me into That 70s Show

When this episode initially aired, Star Wars nostalgia was in full bloom, with the 20th Anniversary editions in the theaters and the Prequels coming that summer. So, this episode was highly anticipated and it delivered well. The characters are about a decade older than me, but they nonetheless caught a lot of the initial Star Wars hype that I remember from 1977 -- Eric being obsessed with every plot point, Kelso wanting to see it again and again (he even used the proper nomenclature of the times "Jackie, Star Wars is a limited engagement". In fact I remember them always saying it was "HELD OVER" in the newspaper ads. Also, I loved the fact that they appeared to use authentic Star Wars Death Star sets in the making of the "dream sequence" -- just a well done episode, and funny (though the characters didn't quite find the stride they would have in future seasons -- Fez was doing too much of the "dumb foreigner" and Eric was more of a weasel than the lovable loser he would become)

And watching Kitty and Red get horny was good fo a chuckle.

But for what it's worth, after all the pre-hype over Star Wars, including a none-page spread in Newsweek, and the fact that it was limited to a very few theaters in significant market areas (in the fourth largest city in the USA it played in exactly one theater), it was impossible to see first run unless you wanted to camp out for a day or two in line. I ended up seeing The Empire Strikes Back before I ever saw Star Wars (which was what it was called until years later). Later, they got smart and realized they'd make more money by putting it on more screens, but, by then, the bloom was off the rose.
