Hey, the fact that there's now a better format around than vhs is kind of what puts a damper on being enthusiastic about the movies themselves isn't it? I'm being serious, by the way. There was no 4:3 and 16:9 with vhs, everything was just 4:3. Hence the glory of the 90's. One last time in '95, SE in '97, both on the same format, equal treatment.

Actually, the Trilogy was available in widescreen on VHS as early as 1993 in the states (not sure about foreign markets) so the pan & scan issue was there. Ah, unless you're talking about the whole 4:3 letterboxed vs anamorphically enhanced for 16x9 tv issue & not aspect ratios of the video content itself.... i see.... nevermind
