I got the set a few weeks after it came out
I didn't actually have a copy of the trilogy, and the only close thing was the SE of ANH that I had taped off a TV broadcast many years ago.
I saw the OT of ESB once, and the OT of RotJ a few times. But, I have never seen the 97 SE's of ESB or RotJ. I've seen the DVD's ANH and ESB a few times, and the DVD of RotJ twice.
I was in for a big suprise there...
