I saw the films out of order, and never in the theatres.

First Star Wars film I saw was TESB, back sometime in the winter of '96/97. It was on a poorly-made home recording the family borrowed from some friends - I remember the picture going a blank blue at several points throughout the film, so it was a pain in the ass to watch. I also remember not liking Yoda - I found him stupid-looking at the time.

I next saw ROTJ, in August of 1997 (the night Princess Diana died, actually). It was on a French-language channel, though, so I couldn't understand a word. Regardless of all that, though, I enjoyed the film immensely. Weird thing, though, is that I remember seeing Luke's lightsaber as blue, not green; the tint on the TV must have been off.

Saw SW for the first time, I believe, in the spring of '99. The VCR we had at the time was defective, though, and kept shutting the video off. I liked the movie, but was disappointed that "The Imperial March" wasn't in there and that Vader's armour wasn't as glossy as in the sequels.
