But I think this thread has set a record for most posts. At least I believe so (haven't seen any that had more (maybe adys ANH R thread but this one is taking the taco for ideas. ESB is alot of peoples favorite movie so it would only make sense that it would be so popular.

And like any sequel, more people are interested in it having seen the original. I didn't even know about ANH:R until someone posted on another message board I go to, and this was after it was released. I'm sure a lot of other people came here the same way.
