When doing movie screenings, I really like to show a trailer for the actual movie we are about to watch right before showing it. For example, TPM trailer, TPM film, AOTC trailer, AOTC film, etc. Kind of builds the excitment up and sells the film right before showing it.

I think Adywan's SW:R is the way to go, Lucas approved order, but not Lucas approved versions. Since that is the film most people have seen the most, and know so well, the changes give it a flare of new life, and it gets rid of the worst of the SE changes and errors in coloring correction. For ESB and ROTJ, I'd stick to the 04 discs, since they look way better than the GOUT and fit better with the PT.

You going to watch all of these in one sitting? Phew, I couldn't do it, I am the guy who has to watch the LOTR trilogy in hour long segments. Just can't sit still in front of the TV for that long, especially for something I have seen a few times before in recent years. Of course, if it is a massive big screen theatrical experience, then I can manage to sit for very long stints.

Hmm, having just checked in on the "You know what is better than Star Wars" thread, I might add that it would be pretty interesting to take a bunch of McQuarrie art from each of the OT films, and make three brief slide shows for each film, putting the pictures in chronological order according to the film, then putting a musical piece over them, and playing each of those before each episode of the OT. They'll be fresh on everyones mind as they watch the movie, and they can see how the film matches up with the art. Just one or two minute long slide shows.
