Star Wars at the Coronet Theater

Did you happen to go see Star Wars on its opening weekend in San Francisco in 1977? Peter Hartlaub of the San Francisco Chronicle found and posted photos of the crowds at the Coronet Theater waiting to see the new film Star Wars, and he wants to find those folks. Even if you weren't there, you'll want to see the pictures. Oh, and you'll definitely get a kick out of the newspaper ads for the movie -one describes Darth Vader as a metallic star creature.

About a Snarky Blogger

I am Charles Cranston and I curate and maintain snarkyunderclass.com . I am married and live in Fort Collins, Colorado. The Snarky Underclass website and blog was started as a project of solidarity with artistically, musically, and politically minded people and friends of mutual tastes and interests. The name 'Snarky Underclass' comes from the phrase often used to describe the idea of an educated but struggling proletariat. John Hodgeman used the phrase 'snarky underclass' in a Daily Show with John Stewart segment about the closing of Borders Books in 2011. He lemented; "America will be inundated with a wandering, snarky underclass of unemployable purveyors of useless and arcane esoterica " The acknowledgement of these people solidified the return of growing class of people not seen since the days of the Great Depression, an educated underclass, a struggling middle-class, a Snarky Underclass.
