My original memory of Star Wars is the ones we taped in the late 80's. I mean - the picture was squished inwards to get more of the widescreen image in (I always wondered why the moons of Tatooine were oval instead of round). Even now if I watch the DVD, I still expect the Rebel theme and the "STAR WARS - CHANNEL NINE" thing with the picture of Luke in the gunner seat to come up.

Can you believe, I didn't see 'look sir, droids' till I was 9 and the old old trilogy was released for the last time on VHS.

I'd go back to those really old copies, but guess what? My brother lent them to his kids. They got a scissor treatment when jammed in a VCR. I could have cried, those tapes were very precious.
