This is from the Hyperspace Edit/Restoration:

Ok, we're on track, thank you. But, my copy was probably dubbed by someone from one of the first times it was released on VHS, I did actually point it out to a couple of people years ago, they agreed. If this seems like a wild goose chase, I'll drop the subject, but I saw what I saw and was obsessed over it. MAN, why'd I throw away that copy?!

It can be confirmed, but only for the 2004 version of the film when the lightsabers and other aspects of the trilogy were totally messed up. Any release of ROTJ on VHS does not have the problem you described.

Yes it does, and ONLY the older VHS copies, in the newer DVD releases, the lightsabers, when they're in front of the Emperor's face and he's laughing, are cut into each other. In the earlier, original prints, the green is next to his face. Someone must have it.

I HAD an original VHS copy of ROTJ, I don't anymore, I'm sure somebody out there does, but anyway, before the effects on this movie were altered,in the scene where Luke ignites and takes a swing at the Emperor and Vader "blocks" his attack, Luke's green lightsaber is CLEARLY behind Vader's red. Pause it on the part where the sabers cross and you could see all that Luke has to do is swing ever so slighty to his right and boom, Emp's gone! Vader blocks nothing. Like I said, I'm sure somebody has a tape of this, don't want anyone to think I'm starting on of those "grappling hook" topics, and I'm sorry if this is already common knowledge, but I have searched for this for a while and haven't seen anything. Please confirm.
