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

The special effects were groundbreaking. Look at pictures of Logan's Run and then look at Star Wars. Lucas did things most director's couldn't imagine.

Imagine walking into Empire not knowing a thing about the movie and then learning the truth about Darth Vader. I do feel sorry for the kids who didn't see it opening weekend. Everyone was talking about it.

I know some folks don't like Jedi but I did. Sure the Ewoks fighting storm troopers was silly but I really enjoyed the redemption arc.
