Difference between the theatrical versions and the first VHS home releases?
Time

Ah, okay! That makes a lot of sense now. The one thing I do remember now that ChainsawAsh mentioned it, is the “New Hope” crawl.
I remember reading about the different sound mixes along the way too and the canyon scene debate. There’s been so many releases of each movie in the OT that it’s hard to recall and which release is up for debate about what.
I think I originally watched the 1993 VHS releases the most and then I bought the VHS releases seen in the links from the 80s at a garage sale like almost 10 years ago AND NOW come to think of it I grew up watching those too as the library had both sets, probably maybe before the 1993 releases??
I love my options, but holy crap lol

ANYWAY

Thanks guys!

Hey guys! I’ve been lurking for a bit and joined today because I really, really like this site and get a kick out of it.
Now to get to the topic, was there a difference between the theatrical releases and the original home releases? I’ve been watching the Silver Screen and despecialized editions lately and I can’t recall if there was a difference for nothing! I scoured the web but found nothing that answered my question.

Pics for reference of the VHS releases I’m referring to:

I would just watch them again, but my VCR is…in an inoperable status at the moment lol

Thanks in advance!
