As long as we are confessing, when the original Star Wars movie came out, I was a law student and my wife was the news director of the local TV station in Charlottesville (with a staff of 2). The same people who owned the TV station, owned one of the movie theatres in town. As a benefit, they supplied passes to the theater to the station's employees and their spouses.Guess which theater was showing "Star Wars"?
Guess how many times my wife and I saw Star Wars -- 'cause I can't remember.
Somebody gave me the package of the 3 on VHS tape when they were released as such in the 1980s, so I've re-run them a number of times.
Agree with you that TESB is the most "adult" of the initial three, with a real script, real dialogue and real direction. But, I recall, at the time the buzz was that there was some sense of disappointment in the film, because it didn't meet expectations created by the first movie.
However, a hilarious version that you must see if you ever have the chance is the stage production called "Star Wars in 60 Minutes." It is a Lucas-authorized stage production that manages to tell the entire story of the first 3 films in 60 minutes by capturing snippets of dialogue from each film. USC Drama students (of which my daughter is one) put the show one every year when they participate in the Edinburgh, Scotland "Fringe Festival." They also performed it in Paris last year. Running several shows a day for several weeks, it packed the house and had people ROTFLTAO. The students do their best to imitate the voices of the actors from the movies. I know it's hard to imagine; you just have to see it.
Re: the posts below. Glad to hear that your sister is improving, and I hope the "medical practioners" who are responsible for this debacle are, to put it gently, "relieved of duty."
