Apologies, what do you mean "like" five years old? Do you mean you were younger when you saw the films?

Are you an "oldie" like me? :)

I don't know whether I have improved memory skills - my wife marvels at the stuff I can remember - or if it's simply a question of being able to recall the stuff that's affected me most but I can recount memories not just of seeing the original films when they first came out but also the '97 re-releases and the releases of the prequels. However, I can't say the same about the amount of times I've seen them on video, DVD or Blu-ray because that is time without number.

I saw all the theatrical versions when I was five (give or take two years either way) but never in the theatres (missed out on SE"s). My family knew someone who back in the day owned a local movie theatre and had pristine 35mm copies of all 3 films. Sadly these copies were lost after guy went through a divorce. I still am really hoping to see the 3D rereleases in the theatres, even if they are not the originals.
