Thats fair enough---as I said earlier--I enjoy watching my 1982 VHS tape on the odd occasion----it has the worst  looking transfer----but has the highest nostalgic value(for me personally).

Well, for me the best nostalgic version of the OT is a super-sharp transfer, because that's how I saw it in the theater in 77 when it first came out.  No such thing exists because all the hi-res transfers have CGI alterations. I don't have any nostalgia for blurry low-res dirty transfers (even my own).  But I don't have any nostalgia for dancing teddy bears and whizzy CGI either -- in fact those are worse... it's just not the same movie.  Among the official releases, at least the GOUT is the same movie.

The messed-up colors to me aren't the big deal (well, except the crushed blacks).  They are just proof that George is no longer competent to manage his own affairs anymore.
