CO, do you by any chance remember watching The Star Wars Holiday Special, Caravan of Courage, and/or The Battle for Endor on TV when they first aired? If so, what are your memories for them, and how did you look at them then, in contrast to now?
TextActually I remember watching the Holiday Special over my aunts house when I was 6 years old. Dont remember alot of it, but that may be cause it is not that memorable, but I think I remember a bunch of wookies in it, a couple more than just Chewbacca, is that right if anyone has seen it? The other stuff you named I never really got into after ROTJ, but do remember the Ewok Cartoon. To me it was just the three movies and that was enough to keep me satisfied.
It is funny cause as big as a SW fan that I am, when the Prequels were announced, I really didn't care. I remember arguing with a friend the month before TPM came out, and he couldn't wait for the movie, and I kept arguing that Lucas couldn't duplicate the characters of Han, Leia, and Luke in these movies, and that is why they won't be as accepted by the older fans. At that time I really didn't think of the kiddie stuff or would the movies be supbar, or all the other crap that I have a problem with the PT now, I really just thought that how will people love the same universe we grew up with, with different characters who I knew wouldn't be able to replace the great characters from the OT.
