The first movie was re-released April 10, 1981. It's when "Episode IV: A New Hope" was added to the crawl.

So I'm solidly in Gen X and old enough to remember going to see the first movie on my birthday in 1981 the day it was re-released in theaters.

I was the right age to be hooked, I even anxiously watched the 2015 sequels, but reading about this one, I find I can't even motivate myself to care about it anymore, so and I know my teenagers don't care about Star Wars at all, so I can't help but wonder who the target audience of this movie is and whether it will kill the franchise once and for all due to its inevitable poor performance considering that I'm not a unique member of Gen X.
