I wasn't a huge Star Wars fan back then. Mostly I was just interested in seeing ANH for the CG Jabba and the upgraded Death Star dogfight. ANH was my fave of the three and I figured I could check the other ones out on video.
Overall, not bad. I mostly geeked out over seeing ANH in a theater as opposed to TV. Felt like I got my money's worth at the time but as the years wore on, reality sorta had to set in a little bit. "CG Jabba looks like crap, Luke isn't supposed to scream as he falls down the pit on Bespin, do we really need to see Coruscant's celebrations" and so forth.
Of course, the SE was only the tip of the iceberg of crappy movies that would unspool that summer...
