A New Hope - a friend saw it 20 times in a month before I managed to get in the theater. I loved it on the first view, developed suspension of disbelief problems on the second.

Empire Strikes Back - Awesome. Drove down from Boulder with my brothers to a huge screen theater in Denver and it was just an amazing movie. Drove down the next day to repeat it. The reveal - figured it out a split second before Vader said it. Not spoiled, yes I believed it - totally made sense.

Return of the Jedi - it felt like an eternity since Empire. Didn't know what to expect. More or less met expectations - not as good as Empire, a better film from the standpoint of story than A New Hope. Not entirely satisfying though. Little did I know of the crap festival to follow.

Tigris, we saw Empire at the same screen. By that time my friend have moved from Boulder to Arvada so it was a trip cross town.
Were you there the night the film broke and there was a near riot until the popcorn guy came out and did a "all is well" talk?
Most vividly I remember the Stereo sound effects of the snow fight scene with 'boulders' landing in back of where we were seated.
