| this one is for the guys who cant get enough and keep on watching the movie like me. i would say i am probably over a 1000 th times, easy since i was able to have the movie at hand. I have no clue why, i keep watching it over and over like this. I put it on when i am working on something or different situations, even to go to sleep sometimes. how about you guys? |

| It's definitely the one I've seen most times of the original movies. How many is hard to say. I'm guessing somewhere between 100-200 times. I always watch the original movies during Christmas, it has become a little tradition of mine. |

| I remember collecting the toys as a child much more than seeing the films. The SW videos I own are well used but I don't think more than 50 times. Perhaps when Junior is a little older we'll get to watch it together. |

| I honestly don't know how many times I've seen it--I stopped counting in the 80's once it hit video. I think, realistically, I've seen it at least 200 times. I saw it 15 times in the theater between 1977-78. It played for over a year and going to see it was kind of the thing to do when someone had a birthday. They weren't as strict about attendance in those days and I remember at least one occasion where my friends and I stayed for two showings in a row. I got to see it once when it was re-issued in 1980--I remember that vividly.
I had an accident when I was in Jr High and was confined to bed for several months. My Grandparents loaned us a VCR with some tapes, Star Wars being one of them, so I watched it probably at least once a day during that time.
I've also heard it hoards of times--probably more than I've seen it. Before we got a VCR I made a recording of it on cassette tape by placing the condenser mic on my tape recorder next to the speaker on the TV. I would listen to it at night while I went to sleep (along with episodes of Star Trek and Dr Who that I had recorded) or while model building. I have the radio version of it as well.
I got the laser discs when they first came out in the letterboxed format--that was like seeing the movie for the first time all over again--and upgraded to the THX laserdisc set when it arrived which I still have. I migrated to DVD naturally and had the Blu-Ray set pre-ordered though I've only watched it on Blu-ray twice (trying to endure yet another series of idiotic changes) and plan to watch it again this weekend in honor of the anniversary.
Whenever I get a new piece of A/V equipment or whenever I have moved and set everything up Star Wars is what I play to inaugurate it. |

| I really have no idea how many times I've seen it. However it is not so many times as you would think. I haven't seen the movie in a couple of years. Star Wars is also the movie from the OT that I've seen the least times. When I grew up and saw the OT for the first time my favourite of them were Return Of The Jedi. When I got older that changed to The Empire Strikes Back and it's still my favourite one. Actually I think it's soon time for a Star Wars marathon. I bought the Blu-rays, but haven't watched them. |

| Obi Wan, being my favorite character and really the movie of the OT that he's in. How many times...? To many to count. Yesterday on cable all 3 of OT were played all day. It turned out to be a great day to work on the house. |

| I've lost count like most people. However keep in mind that movie is 35yrs old!! If you got a copy on tape in 1982 and have watched it, say, every 2months (6X a year) then over 30yrs you've seen it 180 times!!! |

| I have no idea how many times I've seen it, maybe one too many, because when I've tried to watch it lately I always fall asleep when Luke and C-3po goes after R2D2 on Tatooine... |
