re: Those who saw the original Star Wars trilogy in the theaters..

The Empire Strikes Back was one of the first movies I remember seeing in the theaters. I already loved Star Wars, probably because of the toys, but I never watched that movie. I read books, listened to the stories on records, and saw the Holiday Special but I never was able to watch Star Wars until after I saw Return of the Jedi. It finally came on network TV and I was able to catch it. Something like that would blow a youngster's mind today.
