Star Wars

[livejournal.com profile] lovelybug has never seen Star Wars! And last weekend we were supposed to watch The Empire Strikes Back on TV, only I managed to screw it up. I should fix it. But I need your help. Original, as remastered from a Laserdisc, or special edition with whizzy digital special effects and Greedo shooting first?

I can't believe her education is so lacking! Poor love.

I voted original version first, because it makes seeing the special edition exciting in a 'spot-the-difference' way, and because, actually, the original versions are pretty bloody impressive, effects-wise, and are an interesting historical document for that reason.

That was my reasoning too - watch the originals for the plot/characters then watch the special editions to see the special effects. Otherwise the original might look less impressive in comparison.
