I first saw A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back as a televised double-feature on Easter Weekend in '96. For about a year, my only experience of Star Wars was on the small screen. That all changed in 1997 with the release of the Special Editions.
I saw each of the films as they were released, and with every outing to the cinema my love for the saga increased ten-fold. Watching the trilogy on the big screen was unlike any other cinematic experience I'd had in my life. The same remains true to this day. Sadly, in the intervening years, I've somehow misplaced my tickets for my favourite of the three films - The Empire Strikes Back.
