i can only watch rotj on vhs. why? because the camera is so static, the pan and scan version gives it some movement. i also like tron on vhs for this reason.

You know this is actually a good point. Somewhat related: when I first saw Star Wars in widescreen I felt its age for the first time. The editing on the P&S SE tapes definitely felt more dynamic and modern thanks to camera pans and sometimes quicker cuts. Even before I was an OUT purist I preferred that 70s vibe I got out of the widescreen version.

For the record, SW is the reason I know anything about film, OAR etc. I blame all of you guys :P
