No the hype was there when it went wide. Unless the thousands of people who have shared their stories about waiting in line for hours on opening night for a pack theater are lying, then yeah the hype was there at the start.
So do you think that those of us that were around in '77 are lying to you? Or do you think that there was massive hype prior to the opening of Star Wars and no one in this thread seemed to notice it?
Outside of the sci-fi mags (which few people read) there wasn't much buzz about Star Wars. The producers themselves were caught off guard when it was a big hit. There may have been big openings in New York and L.A. and the like, but around here it was all word of mouth.

There may not have been big hype in Louisiana, but there was plenty of hype elsewhere. It was no where near what it was for TFA if that's what you were asking, but there were lines all over America opening weekend. Just Google it dude. Believe me or not, it happened, your personal experience isn't the definitive take on what happened. OP question was answered anyways.
