As others have said, when it comes to Star Wars, I'm hardly a fan outside the OUT. Though I must be in the minority, I only got into Star Wars in 2003 when I was 11, the first film I watched was The Phantom Menace on VHS. After that was Attack of the Clones, then Return of the Jedi SE, Star Wars/A New Hope SE and Empire Strikes Back SE, after that was Revenge of the Sith in theatres.

Around the time, I was the usual kid where I preferred the visuals and duels from the Prequels. When the DVD set came out for the OT the year after, I was a bit disappointed with some of the changes like Hayden in Jedi, though I just accepted them.

It wasn't until 2009 where I discovered Adywan's Revisited edit for A New Hope and this site when I started to loathe the Special Editions. After that I finally got around to watching the OUT and I found them much better, they definitely felt more like 70/80s movies.

To think, a fan for nine years who was introduced by the Prequels (I can still watch these though it's hard to ignore the awful stuff in it now) and Special Editons (can't watch these full stop now) and now the only thing I ever want to buy from them is a properly restored OUT set.
