I'm 1988 too :-) I grew up with a copy of a copy of an early 90s VHS of SW (the very one that was the source of this clip actually).
I haven't seen the SE in the theaters either and I do regret that as well, because even altered, it would have been great to have seen the OT in a theater. Plus for me, it would have been the only opportunity for a long time to come to have seen it in widescreen and in English.
