I was so ready to see the SEs when they came to theaters. I was almost 20 at the time. So, I kinda missed out on Star Wars when it first came out, but had been fortunate enough to be taken to see Empire (very little recall on this one) and Jedi when I was young. I think the effect the SEs had on me were almost like seeing the PT. Except the SEs didn't seem quite so bad at the time. Who knew Lucas was going to shortly seal the fate of the OT? But basically me and my friends nearly pissed ourselves with excitement at seeing the SEs since we'd missed Star Wars the first time around. I watched each one at least 5 times in the theater. It was a great time.
