Okay, so like a lot of people I've heard about the new releases of the original trilogy, and that they're taken from the laserdisc versions. I have mixed feelings about it, but instead of boring people about it I'll just pose my question/observation:

In the press release for these, they noted that we would be able to see the original Star Wars before it became "Episode IV: A New Hope." Which is pretty cool, but what doesn't make sense is this: if these are essentially the laserdisc versions, why would it be that first version? I have bootlegs ripped from the laserdiscs, and even that says "A New Hope" at the beginning. Is there something I'm missing here?
