I think you and I have followed the same path with Starwars, Crossvader. Only it was my best mate who had the VHS recording and we kept playing it until the tape broke.
I’ve had it on tv recordered VHS, offical VHS release, Special edition VHS release, Laserdisc release of a new hope, DVD and now Blu-Ray boxset.
Weirdly, it’s The War of the Stars that really gives me the original viewing feeling I remember as a kid.
