Here in Modesto the movie is shown every year during Graffiti Week at the State Theater... The Theater dates back a few years before 1962, back then it was called "The Strand Theater"

But after a fire it was closed down... Then bought & restored it reopened as The State Theater...

They run annual Star Wars Festivals complete with Darth Vader & Storm Troopers in the audience

Anything George Lucas was involved with will likely be played annually ... Just part of Modesto Heritage..
