When the Special Editions hit the big screen, I was adament with my dad that he take me to see at least one Star Wars movie. I didn't know much about Star Wars at the time, but he was a fanatic of the original, so suggested we go see it... although the poster for "Star Wars" was somewhat underwhelming compared to the ESB and ROTJ.
It was a very memorable theater visit. There was no bad blood between the CGI alterations and I at the time, because that was the first Star Wars movie I'd watched, so I saw it for what it was: a GREAT sci-fi/adventure/fantasy movie.
I eventually bought a 1992 VHS copy of Star Wars, and began to understand how it was superior to the Special Edition. I love both editions, but the original, unaltered Star Wars, as a stand-alone movie, will always remain my favorite.
