I too grew up in Edison and can’t tell you how many great moments of my childhood and teenage years took place in this theater. From seeing all three Star wars films there,(I remember being 5 yrs old sitting in the very first row, crinking my neck in amazment as I watched the imperial star destroyer fill the screen for the very first time, walking out in denial upon finding out that Vader was Lukes father, and feeling sadness thinking that Return of the Jedi would be the last I would see of the characters were like family.) Then only to have my friend work there as a teen and let me act cool as I snuck girls up to the closed off balcony to make out! I ended up working at the new Odeon when it opened in 91 and had some good times there too but it wasn’t the same.
