For that first generation watching the OG movies in the '70s, Star Wars only came every three years. Even as a 12-year-old kid, when I was first taken to see the re-released Star Wars films at the cinema, I knew I'd have to exercise patience. There were only three of these movies. Three perfectly formed space operas that I'd heard my dad raving about for years. And now, just like a sneaky slice of birthday cake, he was sharing them with me.

Sure, I didn't have to wait three years between episodes. I paid the price in the form of Han shooting first and terrible CGI (et tu Snootles?) but once I'd seen all three original Star Wars films, that was it. No more Star Wars (or, at least, good Star Wars) for years.
