I hung onto the original trilogy on VHS for quite some time until Lucas finally released the unchanged movies on DVD.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-16839502443476953412012-11-08T11:15:13.711-05:002012-11-08T11:15:13.711-05:00I too had that response to the Darth Vader daddy l...I too had that response to the Darth Vader daddy line. I literally threw up my hands and went "pffft." I must have been about 14 when I saw it in the theater. The only one I own or care to watch is the first one, original release on VHS. The kids have all the others I think.Retro Houndhttp://www.retrohound.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-79397387277685794182012-11-05T19:46:13.846-05:002012-11-05T19:46:13.846-05:00Thanks.

I turned 16 the summer The Empire Strikes Back came out, so I must be three years older than you.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-91149437743576317682012-11-05T18:35:35.053-05:002012-11-05T18:35:35.053-05:00I love all your anecdotes about audience reaction ...I love all your anecdotes about audience reaction when it originally came out.

I just could never get into the new trilogy (the prequels). But there's a lot of good storytelling in those first 3 movies. Though I agree that they weren't carefully thought out in advance. I'm certain they just made up these plot twists as they went along. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
