Wait. How could there possibly be a 1982 boxset that includes Return of the Jedi?
TIME TRAVEL!!

I didn't even think of that. On the box it make some comment about "15 years ago I set out, blah blah blah" and did some math. I guess it was like an '85 box set or something.

I still have that box set put away to keep me from completely wearing them out (they are already not so good looking) and use my LD transfer DVD's. Oh the memories.

My aunt wanted to watch ANH for the hell of it and put in that tape version instead of my Faces set. Holy hell was that image crappy. Not only was it pan and scan, but there were water marks on the film. WATER MARKS!! It was all washed out and graining. God it was horrible. I thought my VCR was going to vomit up little bits of Star Wars chunks at any moment it was so bad.
And I did watch A LOT of the SE box set as a young teeny. I saw in the the theaters and just went crazy. But even as a 15 year old, I knew that something wasn't right about the alterations. Such as the Luke line "You're lucky you don't taste very good." Where was it? I liked how cleaned up it looked and the "special footage" added, but something was missing.
Even my little brother noticed, and one day (back in 2002 when he was now 15) we wanted to watch ESB and he said "Let's watch the original version. Put in the laserdisc." I wanted to kiss him. Not in the way that Leia kissed her brother, but there you go.
