I honestly don't remember the 1st time I ever watched it. It always just seemed to exist in my life. I was only one when ROTJ came out in theaters so I definitely missed the initial run and I grew up watching it on TV in pan and scan.
For all the flack the 97 edition gets now, it was really eye opening seeing it for the 1st time in widescreen in a large theater. So much detail you never noticed before.
Yeah this ^.
It kinda puts paid to notions that people just want the OT restored out of a sense nostalgia. Because for many of us nostalgia is a cr*ppy quality pan & scanned 4:3 VHS that we taped off the tellie. We actually want the OUT restored in HD because it looks better that way. The Harmy's DE and the 2006 GOUT were the first times I'd ever seen the OUT in Widescreen.
