I remember watching the original trilogy on VHS recorded tapes in '89 religiously (a big chunk of the beginning of ESB was missing so I didn't see that part until we bought the retail tapes). I was about four or five years old. The thought of growing up to such a larger story blows my mind. The original trilogy was so clouded in mystery, like what the hell happened between ESB and ROTJ or what's the story behind Bob Fett? Since then, a lot of it has been explained so much that it is almost a different experience.
But if it is anything similar to my experience (the one in between the release and the prequels) then I say it is still worthwhile. But I still get the feeling that the more new movies are made, the less the new younger generation will be interested in the original trilogy and that just feels like youth marketing appropriating my past.
