My cousin hated ESB when we were wee (he is a couple of years younger than me). He thought it was a bit rubbish that the Falcon kept breaking down and that nobody would listen to Threepio because he was a robot (well he was seven years old).

I remembered being upstairs on the bus home still buzzing and saying to him that I don't know how I can wait three years to find out what happens next.

We both freaked out a bit with the bloody arm in ANH but this one had Tauntaun guts and Luke got his hand cut off and that Wampa jumping out almost made me lose my mint choc-ice. Trying to figure out what the front of Vader's face was like from the back was a nightmare inducing affair. I was also kind of weirded out by Lobot as I thought his headphones must be screwed into his skull (like a Cyberman...I hadn't actually seen any Cybermen in Doctor Who but I had read about them and seen photographs and they alone gave me nightmares because they weren't just robots, the humanoids in The Black Hole had the same effect.).

Three years later he was the one buzzing, he actually thought it was great that Han could kill Boba Fett without being able to see him and there was me (13 years old and already a jade) saying it was allllright but it wasn't as good as I hoped it would be.

He thought I was nuts but we both agreed we couldn't wait three years for the next one...pfffffh.
