It is going to be hard for me to break tradition too in a way. I actually didn't see the first Star Wars in the theater. I begged my mom to take me for a long time because she hates films like that. I was 7 when it came out. By the time she agreed it had left the theater and we had to see it at the drive-in. I saw ESB and JEDI with friends. I saw TPM at the midnight showing. I waited until good neighbor hour on opening weekend for AOTC because of previous disappointment with TPM and only saw it once. With the exception of the original, AOTC was the only Star Wars film I saw only once in the theater or drive-in. I saw the others multiple times. I don't count the SE's of the Original Trilogy which I also saw in the theater only once as well.

I have purchased most of the soundtracks up to this point though. I didn't buy off brand titles or compilations though. I have the Original Trilogy LP's, the 4 CD boxed set, and the deluxe two CD sets that came out in 1997. As for the prequels, I've bought both the standard and deluxe TPM CD's, and AOTC on CD. I'll try to pick up ROTS tomorrow. If they come out with complete scores of AOTC and ROTS, I will probably buy those as well since I am a sucker for Williams' Star Wars scores. I've had many versions of the ESB soundtrack. I've had it on 8-Track, cassette, LP (which I bought twice because the first one was warped), and on the CD's I've already mentioned. Shadows of The Empire is the only non Williams Star Wars CD I have.
