I own two VHS copies of the OOT: the pre-THX set and the Faces set, both fullscreen. In the pre-THX set, everything fits on the screen quite nicely. On the Faces set, however, everything is a lot bigger. For instance, during the opening crawl, on the Faces set I have to wait till the text is almost at the top of the screen before I can read the entire line, while on the pre-THX set I don't have this problem.

Another example: In the opening scene of ROTJ, the Star Destroyer and Death Star fit comfortably in the same frame in the pre-THX set. In the Faces set, it starts on the Death Star and pans over to the Star Destroyer.

Anyone know why this is?
