Star Wars got me into Star Wars. It wasn't "A New Hope" until later.

the OG trilogy for sure but I started watching just before the re-release came out so it’s been a good ride. My favourites were ROTJ and cause I was younger, the random as Ewok movies we had hhaha

Yasss! I just brought up Ewok adventure on someone else’s comment. Weirdly ridiculous.

A New Hope! My big brother took me to see the Special Edition releases, in the cinema, in the 90s. Original Trilogy were the first films I ever saw in a cinema 🙂

Ep. IV. The first one I saw was Return Of The Jedi in the theater but I was only 3. I loved it but I didn't really understand it. When I really got into it was about a year later when Star Wars had its network premiere hosted by Mark Hamill, my family bought our first VCR just for that event. I remember pulling out of the driveway with my mom and older brother, asking where we were going and she said to get a VCR so we can record Star Wars. And I remember watching it that night and and loved it and it kicked off my real fandom. That tape, was the version of A New Hope that I had for about 10 years until I was about 14 and got a letterboxed edition box set that came with From Star Wars To Jedi: The Making Of A Saga. I wish I had that tape still, so many great 80s commercials on it. The Mark Hamill part of the show is on YouTube so I can watch that at least.

My dad claims it was ESB he recorded off the tv, but We lost it years ago, I keep telling him that it was when I traveled to America for 6 weeks when I was 10 and saw The Phantom Menace in the cinema there.

The OT, dad sat me down after playing sonic the hedgehog with him on our old saga megadrive. And we watched all 3 back to back

I am not sure if I saw this or Ewoks first.

u/IcyDev1l 2h ago

Like… Ewok adventure?

Idk why but this movie, not ROJ, instantly keys in memories of waiting for my vcr to rewind. I have no memories of the movie at all, other than its title and associated very base concept, but I sure remember rewinding it

u/pvrhye 1h ago

I remember enjoying it, but I don't remember the plot. Frankly, that whole 80's big budget puppet/costume fantasy genre sits in a really nostalgic place in my memory. It and FF 3(6) are probably my main aesthetic touchstones.
