Me too.

When the Star Wars 1 came out, our local Cinemark had a one time showing of the First three episodes(4-6) & then the new 1. I was about 3 hours late to get a ticket. They apparently sold out within 1 hour of going on sale.

I am trying to recall the cost, but I think it was 50 dollars with unlimited soft drink/popcorn. There was an hour break between each movie.

I wish they had done this in multiple days. I am sure it would have been sold out each time.

I could never get into the last 3 Star Wars movies. They were fine cinematically but the tone just wasn't the same as the originals. That probably doesn't make sense but I don't know how else to explain it.

I once viewed all 6 Star Wars movie from beginning to end, starting with The Phantom Menace and ending with Return of the Jedi, watching one per night. Sadly, I was thoroughly "Star Wars-ed out" by the time I reached Empire Strikes Back.

I think next time I'll divide it up better. Maybe three each night one week, and the next three the following week or something.

Our cinemas showed the previous ones with I think one or 2 weeks break before showing the new episode.
