But that is my point, a lot of people claim to have had that scene on the recorded VHS they grew up with, a lot of people of varying ages, claim to have seen this on TV or on VHS. Even the one time airing Star Wars Holiday Special managed to get recorded on VHS back in 1978. People are claiming the scene was on the VHS tape they grew up with, then why can't any of them produce this evidence? The vast amount of people who claim to have seen this would seem to indicate it was not rare or obscure, but that it was extremely common. Yet the evidence is less than nonexistant. If just a handful of people claimed to have scene this, all coming from the same part of the country, and all claiming from the same theater or the same TV station, all giving similar details, then I'd say there was a good chance there is something to their story. Instead we have people claiming it aired in New York, in California, in Germany, in this place and that place, claiming they had recordings of it that they grew up watching. These claims make it very easy for me to dismiss, and they make it really hard to take it seriously. 

If I were any good at photoshop, I'd consider making a parady of Mulder's "I WANT TO BELIEVE" UFO poster from the X-Files, instead using a blurry picture of Luke's grappling hook missing, or Han talking to Jabba.
