Of course the fans will be glad over this, but I wonder if the general audiences will be that excited to watch movies they’ve seen a thousand times already again, right after Star Wars got milked dry for content.
I think so. I’ve personally never seen the originals (or prequels) in theaters, so this will be my first time, and I’m excited for it to be the original versions.
The last time it was widely released in theaters was 1997, and that was the special editions. I was very young then lol, so I never saw that release.
They were planning a re-release in 2012, but that was cancelled when they sold the company to Disney.
I grew up watching the trilogy on my dad’s VHS copies from the 80s.
