I saw starwars in theaters in 77. I can only remember the major parts, like the  Mos eisley cantina, Ben and Vader fighting, and the death star battle. I don't remember any scene in particular that stood out as most memorable.

Saw empire in 1980 in theaters. Can remember seeing quite a bit of it. Most of which ( again ) where the highlights. The hoth battle, asteroid field, space slug, Cloud city, Ben and Luke fighting, Luke training on dagobah and meeting yoda.  I believe the Hoth Battle was the only thing that really stood out for me. No one had ever seen anything like the AT-AT's, or snow walkers, as I use to call them back then.

Saw Jedi in theaters in 1983. I remember the news talking about the THX sound system. I stood outside the theater ( at night ) for two hours, in the rain with a line stretched around the building and back around. People where sneaking back in to see it twice. All the good seats where taken also. Had to sit on the extreme right side of the theater if I recall, but it was worth it.

I really remember vaders entrance in Jedi because every cheered as he walked down the ramp from his shuttle. The space battle was the second most memorable because nobody had ever seen any thing like it on screen. There was so much stuff going on in the battle. Lukes Green light sabre was a crowd catcher also. Everybody laughed when the Ewoks did something. I believe the speeder bike chase was probably the most memorable part of Jedi aside from the Space battle that really had an impact on me.

The I think I saw Jedi a couple of time in theaters, but cant remember exactly how many times. The details of all 3 movies start getting a bit fuzzy right after the VHS versions came out for rent because after watching those, you start to forget what you first saw in theaters, as opposed to what you saw/ remember from VHS.
