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

New Hope - I was pretty young when my dad took me and my brother. I don't really remember much. I thought the scene where they were in the trash compactor pretty cool.

Empire - I was excited to see it, mostly because my big brother was. I didn't really know the Star Wars story or even rememebr what had happened in the first one. I don't remember having a reaction to the big reveal, but I remember the whole theater gasping. We saw it 2 or 3 times at the theater and I was hooked. Star Wars toys were all I asked for for Christmas and birthdays after it.

Jedi - If I remember right, it was released right at the start of the summer. I just remember talking about it at school every day in the lead up to it. Getting to the theater to see it will always be a lasting memory. It was packed, people dressed up, and just a huge buzz that was exciting for 10 year old. It had been out a week or two when we saw it, and the theater was still sold out. We saw it 3 or 4 times at the theater.


I had no expectations that I remember going into any of them. Too young for that I guess.
