Rewatched the OT for the first time in 7 years with a friend who hasn't seen them, and WOW

So like the title says, I just rewatched the OT for the first time in years. My first and only prior time watching it was when I got into SW as a whole prior to the start of the Sequel Trilogy. Don’t know why it called out to me so strongly then but I dove in head first into all the movies and shows I could find. I didn’t really click with the OT then, but watching them now, I had the time of my life with my friend, a Star Wars skeptic up until these last few days.

Shoutout to everyone involved in this community, and a big shoutout to people like Harmy and the others who’ve worked to make the Despecialized Editions of these movies, because my friend and I had an amazing time watching those. Near the end of RoTJ, he mentioned how he wished there was a disc version of the Despecialized Editions, so I’m hoping to surprise him with his birthday with a boxset of those movies. Honestly, it’s equal parts fun and frustrating tracking down all the various bits needed to put that together, but again, I can’t thank the community enough for creating these wonderful resources. It’s going to feel so satisfying once I’ve put it all together and sent it off to him :)

Anyways, I just made an account here and decided to make at least one post because of how much I’ve gotten from this forum and the OT in general. Have a good one yall <3

I’m not sure I’d be brave enough to show the OT to somebody who has never seen it before and is maybe on the younger side. I couldn’t handle them saying that the films are boring and the special effects outdated lol.
