are the gouts and the laserdisc exactly the same, or are their differences, I’m currently writing a huge video essay about the Special editions, Star Wars preservations, and those horrible videos by Rick Worley and Nerdonomous. in Rick’s video he claims that the gout has a different crawl from the laserdisc and that the laserdisc has the updated “a new hope crawl” so that he can label the Gout as it’s “own cut” and make the list of Pre-SE cuts bigger to make the originals seem less important. I think this is BS. But too tired to check. can someone tell me?

If anyone is interested in reading the WIP rough essay script here it is:

please inform me about any factual errors.
I’ll keep updating it whenever I am finished with another section.
Cheers.
