I think these were my first real exposure to the movies. I had seen them before, but the USA broadcast was the first time I sat down and watched them seriously. I seem to remember they did something neat with the framing of ANH. The opening crawl and the flyover were letterboxed, then they switched to pan and scan for the reverse shot with the corvette and the Star Destroyer coming toward the camera. It made an impression on me, and I was disappointed when I got the official releases. The crawl was harder to read and the starships' reveal was poorer.
