Did you ever get excited because you came across an old tape or disc of Star Wars only to be let down?
My grandson and I went to a local Goodwill to check out the dvds when my grandson says, “Look… Star Wars.” He hands me a box set. It took a few seconds for my brain to comprehend that I was holding a '92 OT VHS box set. The cases are in rough shape. The tapes seem okay. $10 later, I am stoked. My grandson keeps looking at me and laughing because I keep saying “Yeeeeeesssss!” We get home, I get him settled, rewind IV, press play and…NOOOOOO!!! It’s Full Screen. SMH. A quick look at the beginning of each tape shows me that they seem to be in good, maybe okay condition. I will, of course, still watch them, but it just won’t be the same.
