Hi, long time lurker and first time poster here! Have a question about ESB. Maybe there are people who have had a similar experience:

Got ESB on video around 1993, it was the official german widescreen edition, and remember this clearly. Must be a false memory, because i read the novelization around the same time. But what’s strange and i can’t get my head around that, is that what i remember is kind of different in the details. Or could there have been more editions that aren’t listed at wookieepedia?

In the novel the Wampa is destroyed by a continuous beam of the Probot, while i remember it exploding and turning to cinder after one big powerful blaster hit. The scorched bones were seen burning in the snow according to my memory.

Alas i can’t check the tape anymore, because i sold it a long time ago, but i still wonder why i remember this so vividly.

Anyone else remembering seeing this scene in the movie?
