I was 3 years old when I saw ROTJ in theaters back in 1983. It was the second movie I had ever watched in my life. The first movie I had seen was E.T., the previous year, but my parents tell me that I was too scared to sit all the way though it. With, ROTJ, I was too mesmorized to be scared. Even to this day, I still have vivid memories of how HUGE Jabba the Hutt was on screen and how colorful the lightsabers were during the final battle between Vader and Luke. From then on, I was hooked.

I soon asked my parents to rent the previous two starwars movies and asked for starwars toys for chirstmas and my birthday. I still own the toy Rancor, Jabba the Hutt with pit, Millenium Falcon and the Ewoks village that I got when I was 4 years old. I remember being so shocked when I learned that there weren't going to make any more starwars films. I couldn't understand why they would end something that was so successful and popular. By the time I was 5, they stopped selling starwars toys altogether. I was heartbroken.

I still think to this day, that if they were going to make 6 films, they should have just extended the OT over 6 films instead of just 3. The actors and the chemistry of their characters on screen had so much to offer and endless possibilities in storytelling...and as we've learned from the PT, were irreplaceable.
