Good thing I’m just watching movies with my girlfriend and not caring about other people’s opinions on how I do it then or else I might have a problem!
She’s a normal twenty year old girl. Not a film buff. The history and significance doesn’t mean shit to her. She just wanted to experience the story and adventure that she’s always heard about. I made sure she watched a version where Han shoots first and there’s no Jabba scene or cgi slapstick or animals walking in front of the camera. R2D2 didn’t taste very good, Vader’s shuttle was brought, and the wampa was left to the imagination. As for everything else, I really doubt she would be super concerned with matte lines or matte paintings or different composites of shots or anything else so she might as well see it in the best video quality possible. I’ll be sure to tell her this guy on a forum I go to says she watched the wrong version though, I’m sure she’ll feel super regretful.
