    Return of the Jedi was the very first SW movie I saw at the cinema. I wanted to see ESB back in 1980 but my parents wouldn't let me go because I was only four years old. But I cherished my Darth Vader figurine and Yoda pop-up book even though I had never seen a SW movie. In 1983 my parents finally thought I was old enough for a SW movie. It was better than I hoped. At the time I lied to my grandparents so I could see it again.

      It was the first one I saw too. I was only 6 and don't think I knew much about Star Wars. We had toys lying around from my older brother and I heard about it from older kids. I just remember seeing the ads on TV with Luke swinging the saber on the barge and thinking it looked great. My friends my age saw it too, and we all collected tons of the merchandise after that.

      @@johnnyjohnson I was 6 as well. For a while I only knew the original movies from the Story Of cassette tapes and picture books. I remember when I finally got to see ANH on a network TV broadcast. I thought it seemed quite slow at the beginning! I think we had to rent Empire. I didn't own the movies on VHS until their price came down for a 3-pack in 1989.

      @@jedijones I can't remember if I listened to the cassette tapes and picture books from Star Wars, but I certainly remember them from other movies. I think I had the Gremlins picture book and either a record or cassette tape long before I saw the movie. Those were the days. 🙂
