I am fascinated and frustrated at the same time as to who was given the task of creating the pan & scan versions of these VHS releases.

My best memory of Jedi is from the 1986 release, and while I never saw the whole widescreen image for many years following, was following the onscreen action of someone controlling what fullscreen image was best to see. For almost 10 years I knew where the image was panned to, and never thought much of what was missing. When the 1995 THX editions came out, I was full frustrated because the pan and scan image was directed at different images. I could never appreciate these superior quality versions, and silly me bought the fullscreen 97 SE's too.

Wasnt until 2000 when I got the widescreen SE re-release did I start appreciating the whole image, what I missed out on all this time, but I would still love the opportunity to go back and watch all the movies the way I remembered. 84 Empire, 86 Jedi, and I believe the 92 Star Wars. I could go back to those versions now and know exactly what the image was focused on.

Ah, memories.
