May 21, 1980
San Diego "Star Wars" fans camped out in 1980 ahead of the first showing of "Empire Strikes Back" at the Cinerama Theater on University Avenue. Students told News 8's Dave Cohen they were missing classes to see the film which they expected to be "much bigger" than the original. Tickets were $4 in San Diego and $5.50 in Los Angeles, according to our report. [ Ссылка ]
