	I can't remember. I didn't see any of them in theater, though. I was 5 years old in 1977 but my parents weren't big moviegoers. I probably first saw them on TV in the late 1980s. -----signature----- "Do. Or do not. There is no try." Yoda Missing: trans-mural feline.

	The Special Edition release in theaters in 1997. I've seen the THX O-OT versions of TESB and ROTJ on VHS before. Yeah, not the supposed order. -----signature----- I like all six Star Wars Episodes equally.

	August 1978 when it came round again in the theatres. My parents took me to see it as everyone was going on about it at school and I was feeling a bit left out! I was only 5 at the time. Hadn't a clue what it was about but loved it anyway! -----signature----- ROTS, ESB, ANH, AOTC, TPM, ROTJ

	I think a lot of recollections in this thread are faulty. As far as I've been able to find out, ANH didn't exist until 1981. Before that, people saw a movie called Star Wars. -----signature----- Personally if treating homosexuals with respect and dignity is the definition of 'anti-Christian' then I hope that Obama is the friggin' anti-Christ. - FIDo

	God, it is one of my most cherished memory's<<<<3. The VERY first time i saw ANH was when i was 7 years old and this is how it happened.... It was 1996. I was sleeping over one of my aunts houses and was taken on a trip to the video rental store. It was a big treat at the time, ya know like one of those real FUN "adventures" that a kid has. I was looking through all the video covers at all the pictures and one caught my eye, i remember i was just SO fascinated by the picture, it just looked SO cool! Like nothing i ever seen before. It was the original star wars poster art (the one with luke holding up his saber with leia next to him) and i held it for so long just looking at it with my imagination running wild. I picked it out and my aunt was telling me the whole car ride home what a great movie it was and how she saw it when she was my age. She had this awesome big screen tv (big at the time, probably small compared to today's standards lol) so i put it in and before the movie came on it had the trailer of the whole star wars trilogy and the clips that they showed just BLEW ME AWAY! It looked like such a big adventure, such a big story that was ahead of me that i was kind of mystified by it all (lol i know it sounds funny but that's just how i felt). Finally, i watched the movie and was totally shocked, thrilled, mystified by it all and i absolutely COULD NOT WAIT to rent the next one. After that i watched it many times and ended up FINALLY seeing TESB like a month latter and ROTJ a few weeks after that and each time it was a VERY VERY big deal and just blew me away. I don't really know how one can put into words how it feels to see the star wars trilogy for the first time so i wont try but you get the point. Star wars has been a part of my life ever since. -----signature----- "You call THIS a diplomatic solution?"

	1997... I know, it's a shame I waited until the SEs came along to be forced into watching it, especially since I may have been able to go into ESB unspoiled if I'd seen the movies when I was a little kid who hadn't yet been exposed to copious pop culture references to Luke's dysfunctional family... but the things I'd heard about the saga made me think I wouldn't like it very much compared to the "hard" science fiction I'd generally preferred as a kid/tween/early teen. So of course, I was hooked as soon as I watched the OT, and it also opened the door for me to appreciate other types of space fantasy and space opera. (My immediate and extreme interest in the saga as a hormonal teenager may have been aided by my appreciation of a certain tall, dark stranger.) -----signature----- "Sci Fi has been associated with geeks and dysfunctional, antisocial boys in their basements with video games and stuff like that, as opposed to... the female audience." ~~ SPOILER-FREE TILLLL EPISODE IV "there aren't that many Ls in til." - farraday

	A few weeks after it was released in 1977. I was 11. Will never forget that opening scene of the Imperial Star Destroyer rolling across the screen.
