For me, it all started when I was looking for a movie to rent and saw the original trilogy playing on the demo screen the store had set up (the "new" THX Faces editions). It was the beginning of ANH where Vader and the stormtroopers burst through the doors of the blockade runner , tore up ass, and Vader choked Antilles. I knew I had to see that movie. So I rented ANH and just loved everything about it, the timelessness of it, the SFX which were just jaw dropping to me, etc. Luckily my birthday was in the next couple of weeks and I got the entire trilogy on VHS. I wore out those old pan and scan copies like you wouldn't believe.
