I was 10 when the first movie was released in 77. My dad took us to see it seven times while it was in the theaters. I will see The 9th one again before it leaves the theaters and definitely get the DVD later. It is the best of the series after Empire Strikes Back. It is the first of the movies that had me in tears and brought back the laughter from the older movies. As they say, the magic is back. I could care less what Rotten Tomatoes has to say about it, it is a great movie that will even get better with time.
