There is a group of Star Wars fans who will never know the joy of sitting in a theatre and watching a 16 or 35mm print of Star Wars, Empire or Jedi, looking up and seeing smoke in the beam of light from the projector and connecting on a primal level with an organic image on a screen.

They will never know the thrill of getting a copy of any one of the OT films on a rental VHS tape, watch it over and over and not care about the quality because the way Star Wars makes you feel is bigger than the movies ever could be.

They will never know what it was like to see Star Wars in 1977, Empire in 1980 and Jedi in 1983. The closest they will ever get is an approximation in the digital format de jour.

I pity them because they will never, ever understand or get it.
