I didn’t grow up going to movies. They were frowned upon by our church. Once in a while, the family would pile into the station wagon and go to the drive-in theater. I remember one time seeing Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. We left before the second feature, Blackbeard’s Ghost (1968). That was pushing it too far. Later, we were living in Liberia, where we couldn’t really see current movies anyway.

The summer of 1977, we were in the States, and my aunt took us to see the first Star Wars movie with my cousins. Later, I saw it again on laserdisc at my school in Africa.

That’s what this little mixed media abstract reminds me of. When Luke bought R2-D2 and C3PO out of that ship on Tatooine.
