Not.
I've watched the Star Wars dvds about three times already. All three episodes. Before I got them, I was worried that the old movies would seem cliche and foolish. I was concerned that my childhood memories of them were exaggerated by time. Yes, when they came out in theaters a few years ago I watched them. And yes, I even bought them on VHS way back when.
But it's different now for several reasons. I have a dolby digital audio system now. I am watching it on a big screen. And most importantly, I have Episodes I and II to which I can compare IV-VI... of course anything compared to Episodes I & II would look good.
Man, just hearing that famous soundtrack play as the back story scrolls up and away into a star field... and then seeing the star destroyer and the counselor's ship fire at each other. Oh man oh man.
I'd write more but I have to go into Tosche station to pick up some power converters.
