Huge Star Wars geek here as well. Although I jumped on board after the phenomenon was released. Born in 1988, I never got to see the original screenings. Although my pops wasted no time getting me into the saga. I still have totes and totes of action figures, toy spaceships, etc... and for the record, I may or may not still play with them.
I did go to the screenings of the re-releases in the mid 90's that had the special effects and additional scenes included. Wasn't the original...but for not being able to see the original, it was pretty important moment in my nerd life.

Hey !!! I'm the one guy that actually liked the prequels !!! :oops:
I thought they were good. They just couldnt live up to the enormous standards set that were impossible to reach.

There was a recent thread on here about sports cards and how collectors are keeping a lot that don't hold much value. With the large amount of die-hard, and I mean die-hard Star Wars fans there are out there, I'm sure you could get a pretty penny for it. Just look up the next nearest Jedi convention. :P

I remember vividly waiting on line with thousands of others on the opening night in Lawrence, NY. It must have taken 3 screenings (no multi-plexes back then) for us to get in...
Boy was it worth it... Best of them all ... and such a touchstone to my youth...
good god you are old bd...if you where using the internet 30 years ago.
empire is the best of the first 3.
and im not a hater of the latest 3 movies..its just that we are not watching them though childs eyes any more..but no as adult they dont seem as good..but hey as a kid i was blown away by the chess set(3d game table) on the falcon.im still waiting for oen of those babd boys to be made
Empire is the worst of the original 3 and quite possibly the worst overall. Flame away...
hmm the force is weak in this one
just kidding your allowed your opinion. I do disagree though. It is my favorite.
I sense the dark side in him :problem:
DUM DUM DA DUM DA DA DA DA DA DA DUM!
I was so cut that Annikan was such a liitle whiney bitch in the prequels. Ewen McGregor did such a good job of Obi Wan only to have such a lame actor opposite him.
