Hey guys.  Compyislife and i551 already said it, but it was an awesome experience.  I went with one of my friends who had never seen the SE version of ROTJ, and he was shocked and disappointed by the new cgi, but both of us couldn't be cynical enough to not cheer and clap at key moments in the movie.

Having grown up with the VHS versions of the movies, it was amazing to see on the big screen, and it did look very clean and sharp, and the film grain and jumpiness of the picture only added to the charm.

The best part were all the kids that showed up, in costume or just with light sabers. A few of them would light them up whenever Luke lit his up onscreen, very awesome.  One little girl made my day when she saw the bounty hunter show up in Jabba's palace and she cried out "That's Leia!".  It got a chuckle out of the audience, it was damn cute.

And you know what I thought when I saw everyone that showed up to pack this theater and celebrate a movie that is almost 30 years old?  No one, especially the little kids, would give a damn if the movies were still the same as they were in 77-83.  It would still be just as popular, and the kids would still love them just as much.
