Back in the late '90s my mother gave me a copy of the Star Wars Trilogy boxset for Christmas - the 1997 Special Edition versions on VHS, with the black and white colour scheme.

Up until now I thought they'd been thrown away when we moved house, but I find it hard to believe that I (an avid Star Wars fan without a DVD player) would have lost or gotten rid of the VHS tapes just because the family was moving house. I'm convinced they're still lurking around in the attic somewhere, and I'm eager to find them.

Do you guys think it's worth transferring the VHSes to DVD or hard-drive if I find them? I'd like to retain them as they hold some sentimental value for me, but do you think I'd be better off just finding a good quality LaserDisc rip of the 1997 SE? Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: Just realised it must have been the early '00s, not the late '90s.
