The re-release of Ep IV was in probably 96 or 97, and it was awesome. I can't remember which of the re-releases it was, but one of them I had to trudge through deep snow while on serious amounts of hallucinogens to get to the theater (I hope it was Empire, since the beginning is on Hoth, but I can't be sure). One of the best movie experiences ever. Also, I cut class when I was a Junior or Senior in high school to see Ep I matinee on opening day, which was also amazing.

This is crazy… I saw Empire in the theater too…. but the first time around. Grandma dropped my brother and sister and I off at the mall/theater. We watched Empire Strikes Back three times in a row.

Skipping school for Episode One... I feel like school would have been more worth it, haha.

You're probably right, but there was so much anticipation at the time. It took my second viewing of it to truely perceive how bad it was. The build up and excitement puts blinders on you.

I hear you, I enjoyed the pod-racing as a kid. It was nice to not care about pacing and plot when I was younger, and I could just enjoy it because it looked super cool, haha.
