Star Wars in Theaters and Eddie Murphy on SNL Has Fans Remembering the '80s

This week, Lucasfilm released Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the final film in the Star Wars sequel trilogy and the conclusion of the Skywalker saga, into theaters. This week also saw Eddie Murphy return to host Saturday Night Live for the first time since he left the show 35 years ago.

In tandem, these two events (and some others) have sent some fans back in time to the 1980s. Specifically, they're remembering 1983, the year that the first final Star Wars movie, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, opened in theaters. That was a year before Murphy left SNL.

Fans are sharing those nostalgic feelings on social media, wondering how they ended up back in the 1980s. You can take a look at some of their reactions here.
