I and my cousin Darth Cold went to a church reunion today. It was their 50th Anniversary, and my mom and his dad were on the choir. But anyways, a guy let us use DC's copy of the OOT Return of the Jedi I gave him for his birthday. He set it up on a giant projector in a room with chairs aligned in theater-form and walls with retro signs. The room also had surround sound. So when we were watching the movie, it actually (almost) felt as if we were back in the theaters in 1983 watching the real thing. A lot of kids came inside to watch it. They mostly came and went, but they all gathered up to watch the Battle of Endor and the ending. They all enjoyed it in the end. And since this was probably their firsthand experience in Star Wars, they probably didn't realize it was the OOT version. Just thought I'd share this story...

P.S.: Also, my mom and his dad both went to see Star Wars back in 1977, Empire in 1980, and Jedi in 1983. So that makes us the offspring of the true generation.

Agreed. Sounds like a fun way to view the movies.
