Galahad, well that is up to you. I wouldn't recomend it. My best friend, when it was over, was reduced to a twitching lump on the sofa with blood running out of her ears. It took me 45 minutes to revive her. I guess she still hasn't forgiven me for it.

If you do decide to have a special viewing with friends, I would tell them that you take no responsibility for any psychological or emotional scarring that may occur do to viewing the special. If they are hard core Star Wars fans, then I'd say you're pretty safe in letting them view it. Most will only want to see it once and believe me, once is enough for even the most ardant fans.
