I looked everywhere, I am sorry if I missed a cover art or release FAQ...

I have my friend's Laserdisc player, and his discs.

He had the first Star Wars (Han shoots first) and managed to digitize it (although i need to check some spots on disc 2).

I've since bought a Laserdisc of Empire Strikes Back on Amazon, so I can return it if its not a pre-CGI and other "edits", but before I break the seal, can anyone tell me if this is early enough? Amazon now aggregates all movies (and books) regardless of edition or even format, so even if the information is there in the 512 reviews, I can't find it.

My link icon is grayed out here so I can't link to the artwork on the cover of my laserdisc or the Amazon ad page to show you... the page says: Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back, Laserdisc (1980)
Format: Laser Disc

and has 512 reviews at the moment.

The cover looks like that Amazon page, it's mostly blue with Darth Vader's mask as background, and left to right on top is Yoda, hands resting on his cane, below and to the right Chewbacca, R2, C3, then Luke riding (forgot the name of the creature he is riding) And finally and largest, Hans with Leia in his arms as if he was about to kiss her.

At the top is a nearly 3 inch banner of gold-grey with "Special Wide Screen Edition"

at the bottom is a black 1/2 banner that says Laser Videodisc CBS/Fox Extended Play"

on back cover:

"The film contained on this laserdisc is being presented for your enjoyment in the wide screen format, or 'letterbox,' allowing you to experience the film at home as closely to the original version as possible."

"This LaserVision disc is encoded with Stereo Digital Sound in addition to the high fidelity picture and analog stereo tracks of conventional Laser Vision discs."

Catalog information 24 minutes, Stereo, Color, 1980, number 1425-85

Needless to say, I am trying to get the same version I saw in the theater when it came out. How can I tell what I have here, and is it early enough to escape the "improvements" I don't want?

Many thanks for any help.
