I love the home-made stuff from back then. (Y’know, way back in the olden days….)
There was just such a passion to it.
Alas, I fall through the cracks on the poll. I’m too young to have seen them in theaters, but fell in love with the movies on video soon after. Yet, somehow, I missed seeing the Special Editions in theaters (a combination of senior year of high school drama, and the fact that I lived 50 miles from the nearest theater at the time). So, I fall somewhere between Options 2 and 3.
50 miles? Dude.
I have very fond memories of the SEs… We actually would go and line up for them, even though lining up for like the third showing on a Friday (after school!) was kind of useless… ROTJ was the same day I had my first campus visit at my university. But my friends were into it too, which was pretty cool. Though they beat my ass at SW Trivial pursuit.
I still have that Luke figure somewhere.
…I might have seen ROTJ in 1983, but I don’t remember. I do remember Search for Spock, though.
