Showing Sammy the Star Wars films for the first time... (Off-Topic)

Went the extra mile to get the Despecialized editions too. She really liked the first one, even though she fell asleep after the Death Star escape. :P

It's weird. I never liked the movies, but watching the Despecialized editions actually did improve my experience re-watching A New Hope. Something about watching it without an annoyed scowl or raised eyebrow gave me a better appreciation for the film, and the way that the world and effects were pulled off given the limitations of the technology at the time (especially with Luke's speeder). And to think that folks had to work hard to restore that charming hokeyness... I respect those folks.

Knowing a lot of behind the scenes stuff helped the experience too.

We won't be watching the prequels, but I can't wait to see the new one after we finish RotJ,
