I was born in '72, so I don't remember seeing Ep. 4 in the theater (I need to remember to ask my Dad if he ever took me). I definitely remember seeing Ep. 5 in the theater, mostly because of the scene of Han being tortured (him strapped into that chair that had sparks going off), partly due to the carbonite and "Luke falling out the bottom of the city" scenes.
BTW, what's proper etiquette on post replies? I don't want to be seen as rambling on pointlessly. :)
Now the nesting limit is gone we can keep on going :)
I was born in 66, so I was the perfect age for Star Wars. I was jealous of a friend who had the official digital watch :) There wasn't as much merchandise in those days, but I wish I'd kept some of what I had. I feel Star Wars hasn't dated as badly as some other movies of that era. As for Ep 1- 3...
