It would be cool to go since I grew up on 97 SE trilogy. I remember when my mom finally bought the 2004 DVD’s and it even confused the hell out of a young one. I asked her always “why is darth Vaders lightsaber pink?” or “where is Anakins ghost? Who’s that 20 year old?”. I eventually in a confused and frustrated state told my mother “I don’t know why but these DVD’s suck, where are the VHS’s?”.
But this was the ultimate travesty. I was gonna introduce my 8 year old little cousins to the original unaltered Star Wars trilogy on Vacation. One of them wasn’t allowed to stay up late on the second and third nights for ESB and ROTJ. The cousin who could stay up just ate it up. His favorite was ESB (good taste). Once we came home from Vacation the cousins family as requested by me, purchased the complete saga on blu Ray, THEN I burned a despecialized set for them free of charge. He now is in love with Star Wars and loves talking with me about it and it was such a great experience.
The other cousin not so much… his family returned and their parents blindly pulled out their handy dandy 2004 DVDs for the whole family and within a couple days that cousin of mine thought Jedi Rocks was the greatest thing that Star Wars did for Humanity. I failed that cousin of mine.
Now him and my cousin who saw despecialized debate the changes. I took no mercy nor hesitance to debate a 8 year old about such important matters.
Man, these are the experiences that make the SE’s really sting the soul lol.
