Watched the V8. It's nice seeing the unaltered ANH with no DVNR smearing. However, to be fair, you're met with a picture less clear and with less accurate colors than the GOUT. The V8 kinda makes me nostalgic. It reminds me of the amazement I felt when I found a 1985 VHS of the original Star Wars and watched it so much. I was just a kid back then and was surprised at it being different than the 1997 versions. The V8's color timing is the same... looks to be the same transfer. Thanks for uploading Asaki. I'll seed as long as I can.

Now if it only had the 35mm mix it would be a perfect DVD, the 1985 is on so many preservation it is sad and it is crap as far as i'm concerned.

Really an experiment in early digital home audio mixes for films, if not for the added and missing content the 1993 mix would be definitive.

I have the laserdisc and i wish it had any of the 3 theatrical mixes. All it has is the 1985 as digital and analog.
