“The special editions were not that bad, but people insult them because after the release of the VHS/LaserDisc/DVD of the 1997 Special Edition”
Well ,the 97 Special Edition was never released on DVD , but even further changes were made to the movies in 2004 for the DVD debut of the OT , and then again in 2011 for the blu ray , and again in 2019 for D+
" people realised the original versions will never be re-released again."…you got that right , its the reason this here site exists .
and the 2006 DVDs were a slap in the face
The Special editon was released on DVD, but not many have the DVDs of them.
