I live in Brisbane (East Coast of Australia, capital of Queensland), and I went on a holiday with my family around Australia at the age of 7. It was the 1990/1991 Christmas holidays, and we were visiting a family of friends in Perth (West Coast of Australia, capital of Western Australia). Their kids were crazy about Star Wars - kept singing the theme song, going on about this 'Darth Vader' fella, and lightsabers, etc. Anyway, they basically forced me and my little brother to watch it on the second last day we were there. I loved it. It blew me away, and I could understand their obsession from then on. I didn't have time to see Empire Strikes Back, which they told me a bit about, but they didn't even mention Return of the Jedi AT ALL. I didn't know it existed. For the remainder of the trip, the whole 8000 km back home, I was left wondering what was going to happen next. I was really excited. Funnily enough, in this place with really tall tree-houses, another kid that I met started talking to me about all the cool stuff in the Empire Strikes Back. And then he told me about 'the third one', which I didn't even believe existed. He kept going on about Ewoks, Imperial Walkers and a green lightsaber and I didn't believe him. Nonetheless, I took it on board. Anyway, soon after getting home (probably some 19 days later), Star Wars and the Empire Strikes Back came on TV, so we recorded it (since then I was dumb enough to record over them with the '97 SEs). When I heard Vader claim to be Anakin's father, I was blown away. I didn't believe him. I thought he was lying. Well anyway, seeing as it never came on TV till a lot later, I was left wondering whether or not there even was a 'third one'. I was left on this cliffhanger ending for two years: is Vader Luke's father, does Han Solo live, does Luke become a Jedi? Then, when I was in the video shop, I found it: Return of the Jedi. I HAD to see it. I rented it out, and I was blown away. I couldn't believe it. Vader WAS Luke's father. Yoda dies. Jabba was cool. The forest moon of Endor was cool. Luke was Leia's sister! Vader sacrifices himself to save Luke from the Emperor. Awesome. I watched it over and over again. Then it finally came on TV, so I could record it and watch it whenever I wanted. Then the '97 SEs came out (which, funnily enough, I wasn't pissed off about) and I saw the new 'A New Hope' at the cinema, and my brother bought the VHS set.
