I recall seeing the cover art for the Faces set before I watched any of the films. So I wasn’t altogether surprised when it was revealed the alien whose big green face emblazoned the ROTJ tape was Yoda.
I’m jealous of those who got the proper theatrical viewing experience.
I’m quite jealous as well seeing as how i first saw Empire on video cassette in 84. And only saw Jedi in second run in 1985 during its re-release and in a really bad theater. I was fortunate or unfortunate to be old enough to buy tickets to see the 1997 special edition. and Star Wars literally sold out for like a week where i live in 1997.
I wasn’t old enough to see Empire in 80. I wasn’t even born when SW came out in 77. My older brother was basically only 4 months old at the time as well.
