in reply to Favorite Star Wars film:

My favorite was the Original Star Wars, before it was retitled Star Wars IV: A New Hope during the 1979 re-release.

I saw that something like 70 times in the theatre during its 95-week run (1977 to 1978) at the Westgate theatre down the street from my house.

    Yeah, but what's even scarier is when you walk out of the theatre and hear "President George W. Bush."

    Still gives me nightmares...<?p>

    Yes, the addition of those 5 words made all the difference.

    I have to say that I really hadn't thought that it would be possible for Lucas to produce a worse film than TPM (especially since it had boba fett in it), but he proved me wrong.
