It’s 1977.

Star Wars has just arrived in cinemas.

Was this your first film at the cinema? Maybe you even saw it at the Curzon or the Strand? 🎞️

Suddenly everyone is talking about galaxies far, far away, and back in the library, the science fiction shelves are busier than ever. The film helped inspire a generation of science fiction readers. 🤩
