Proposition: Star Wars could not be made in today's mainstream movie industry.

I've never seen that happen since. You'll hear a movie audience laugh, scream, go "awwww!, or go "eugh!", but rarely cheering and booing. Odd, because people do that at hockey games and such.

Heh. FWIW, I remember hearing people cheer when Obi-Wan cut Darth Maul in half. Of course, I was at Mann's Chinese Theater. Then again, I was in Switzerland when I saw Attack of the Clones and people went nuts when Yoda busted out his light saber.

Can't remember anyone booing in general for any movie, though. Interesting...

When Han Solo came back and shot up Vader tie fighter, they went nuts.

Oh come on man!  You should have given us a Spoiler warning.  Now you've ruined the ending for me.  I might as well take the movie out of my Netflix queue

Just wait until you find out who Luke's father is...you'll never see it coming.
