Your Virgin Eyes!
In another Star Wars thread I went back in time and recalled when I first saw Star Wars back in the 70's at the theater!
I know some of you were born just yesterday but you stayed up real late last night! LOL!
When was the first time you caught the Star Wars virus, where were you and what was the source?
Original movie release?
The enhanced re-release?
DVD?
Cable TV?
Internet download?
Other?

Very cool, same pretty much goes for me as well. For the longest time I just had the copy of Star Wars (ANH) a recording off of TV of ROTJ, no Empire, then TPM when it came out.

I caught it when I first saw TPM in the local theatre. I thought the movie was awesome. Not much later I saw all of the OT on cable TV and I was definately hooked... ESB scared the crap out of me though, I was afraid to watch it because of the Luke vs Vader duel (at the time I was 9 years old)...

Hehe, I remember seeing commercials with Darth Vader as a kid and wondering who that guy was. Later I saw Star Wars on TV and finally saw him in a movie! My mom taped most of it and I watched it all the time, later my parents picked me up a VHS copy of ANH and the rest is history.

That's the best box set. I'd like a Blue Ray version of that please.

If only FOX could have retained the rights to the original...
