I saw the SE of ANH in the theatre but I was 4 so I honestly don’t remember it much so my first proper introduction to the OUT in Widescreen was when I got the '92 Letterboxed VHS set off eBay about 14 years ago.
If you had the Pan and Scan version of the SE
No one should have.
What if I had said this?? ‘If you had the Pan and Scan version of the OUT–’
No one should have unless you had no choice.
Which in 2004 if you wanted them on DVD no one did, unless you had bootlegged copies sourced from LDs.
