My son came over to stay at the weekend and asked to watch the original Star Wars. He is 16years old and this is the first time, even surrounded by all the memorabilia at my place, that he has wanted to watch the film.

He has always sat quite while I rant and rave about George and the state of the franchise.

So, on Sunday he asks to watch the unaltered Star Wars. Before hand, I give him a brief outline on the making of the film and to forget completely anything from the prequels that he may remember.

He sat through the whole film not making a sound. The final verdict.."Brilliant" !

After the film we had a short chat on the changes that have been made to the film since and how George has suppressed the original.

Next up, Empire. He wants to watch the original version again and has not even asked to see any updated scenes yet from any of the films.

If after the trilogy is complete, he will want to ever watch the films again..who knows ? All I know is that he was really happy to watch the original Star Wars and to listen to me going on about the 'good 'ol days !
