We had videotapes and cable channels back then.

Well actually, Star Wars wasn't released on VHS for years (you could get bootlegs though).

The only legit thing was buying a vinyl record of audio only. Easily I'm dating myself, I was 6 when SW was released.

ETA: Date myself more, I saw the original at a drive in and fell asleep. Saw it again a few weeks later and stayed awake. Elementary school was fun with all the little girls wanting to "play star wars".

They must have been on cable (at least Star Wars if not Empire) because I know I had a recording and I wasn't old enough to be circulating on the playground black market.

And I almost want to say they even had a re-release of the movies before Return came out.

I never had a copy of Empire on VHS, at least, not before Jedi was released, now a few years later I felt things were more accesible, but back then only rich kids had laserdisc. But for the most part, you were at the mercy of a re-release of the movie at the theater
