May the 4th be with you

Corny I know but a good chance to watch the original trilogy. The fan made Despecialized versions of course.

I'm sure I saw them in a theater but I have no memory. I do remember seeing the "updated" versions in a theater with my 10 year old son. We had fun, how about you?

I remember the excitement when the special editions first came out. Sadly, I never got to see my favorite, ESB, on the big screen. Had to wait for VHS.

Always.


Still have never had a chance to see the “de-specialized editions.” Would love to! I did find the official DVD copies with the original cuts and I still have several VHS versions. Contemplating buying an 8mm version, but can’t bring myself to spend $40 on a kitschy shelf piece.

Star Wars was the very first movie I saw in the theaters as a kid. In line opening night for Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. I have the original trilogy sourced from the Laserdiscs... I played those discs to death!

Re: May the 4th be with you

I don't like this "holiday" because May 4th was always a day for me to wear my Kent State shirt.

I will probably start Phantom Menace in a few and quickly regret it and all my other life choices, including never making it to Tosche Station.

Don't waste your time. They're all out of power converters.

Re: May the 4th be with you

How many days after May the 4th is it OK for me to leave up my Star Wars tree and outdoor lights?
