I find it interesting that those born in the late '80s "grew up with the SEs."

I was born in 1989, and I first saw STAR WARS in 1994.

I went into the living room one night to get milk out of the kitchen, and I saw my parents watching a monster being crushed by a gate on TV. I thought it looked cool, so I asked them what it was. They said "Star Wars," and when I asked if I could watch, they said it was too late, and we didn't own it, but my grandma did.

She had the trilogy VHS set with yellow lettering (my favorite box art by far, probably out of nostalgia). I remember being incredibly disappointed that I never once saw a monster being crushed by a gate in STAR WARS, but I loved the movie. (It was a beg letdown for me when I saw it in ROTJ and it wasn't nearly as cool as I had dreamed it up to be).

The next Christmas, my parents bought me the "Faces" VHS set, and I watched them till the tapes wore thin (we had to replace ROTJ once and ESB twice).

Then the SEs came out, and I didn't understand what all that weird new stuff was - I thought it looked stupid, especially Mos Eisley in SW and the new Sarlacc. My parents bought me the SE VHS set later that year, and I watched it maybe twice.

My point is, I find it interesting that so many people my age "grew up" with the SE's, when I didn't - I guess that's why a lot of the suggestions of keeping SE changes surprise and confuse me (windows on Bespin, for example). But, as with ANH:R, I'm sure I'll be more than pleased with everything (hell, he made me like the new Mos Eisley sequence, though I still hate the extra Dewback search shots).
