My 15-year old cousin grew up with the Special Edition of the OT and the Prequels. Now, he is a beloved fan of the OOT. And it's all thanks to me. For his birthday, even though he had all six movies on official DVD, I burned him a copy of my Dark Jedi's Widescreen "FACES" set. When he took them home and watched them that night, his eyes were immediately opened. He realised all the terrific modelwork and puppetry and all the hand-made effort and perfect acting that went into the OOT that was nearly lost in the SE, that he now sees the OT as a much better story, as he doesn't think much of the prequels anymore. His favorite movie used to be Revenge of the Sith. Now it is Return of the Jedi, the Original Version, because even though it was the weakest of the three original movies, he decided it was ultimately better than the tedious acting and the over-the-top CG effects of Sith. And I was the one who got him down this path. Now he is here, on the originaltrilogy.com forums, ready to join the ranks of the true Star Wars fans......
