Again, my thinking is that, if they do this, they'll make the blu rays EXACTLY like all the video tapes of the movies, which I'm pretty sure never changed, and most (or all?) of the minor changes before 97 were done before the tapes, or just between the prints in cinemas. That would be the smartest decision, so that way if there's complaining they can just say, "these are the movies that you saw on tape up until '97" and honestly, that's what I want them to do. For example, I've heard that originally Empire didn't have as many shots of rebel ships at the end, but we're ALL used to seeing it the way it was on the tapes, and I honestly wouldn't be heart-broken even if they didn't branch something like that (which they could if they wanted to), same with the title crawl. I'm guessing that if we get a blu ray of the OUT, it'll be the exact same (content-wise) as our old tapes and LD's

1. There were three pre-97 VHS versions. One was released in 1982, another was released in 1985, and the last was released in 1995. They might have used different IPs.

2. We don't know what resolutions the VHS versions exist in or the condition of the IPs.
