Changed my life

When I was a kid and things in my household were pretty rough we rented this on video.
As a girl I have to say I wasn't totally sold on the cover with its spaceships and Leia looking a bit like a pole dancer but I'd never heard of the movie so I gave it a go.
About 5 minutes in I was intrigued and by the time I saw the twin Suns I was hooked. By the time the movie finished I rewound it and watched it all again.
These became my role models as a kid and Star Wars became a massive part of my childhood. I loved the characters and the stories and how the main characters related to each other. I read every book and comic I could get my hands on.
I remember thinking at the time it was just such a great original story and it had so much heart. Unfortunately I think recent iterations have lost this.
