VHS recorded from tv!
It was Christmas 1985 I first see Star Wars (now called a new hope) I was 6 years old and my dad who has no interest in sc-fi whatsoever said hey son there’s a space film on TV you might like ‘Star trek’ I think it is 😂 I didn’t move the entire 2 hours i was totally hooked, luckily my dad had pressed record on the vhs so I got to re watch it over and over with 80s advertisements every 15-20 mins 😂 but still it was my favourite vhs.

It wasn’t until a year later that I see my next movie Return of the Jedi!
There was a re-release late 1986 in London, about 45 min drive. A dress up competition and meet darth vader! My dad booked it and helped me create a darth vader costume from cardboard and paper mashay.
I was totally confused lol!
Not about vader being luke’s father (kids talk)
It was han solo turned to stone!luke in black! etc.

Empire was the last one I got to see and it was around a friends, there parents had rented the trilogy from blockbuster so we had a marathon night and I gotta say I was really disappointed with empire at the time! I found it to be kinda boring compared to a new hope and Jedi but obviously I know better now and empire is top of my list but I was only 7 at the time 😂 I finally got the trilogy on official vhs around 1989 and I’ve had pretty much every physical realise since, I’m 43 now 😂
