...so what i'm wondering is, on the defective definitive collection LD pressing, is there just a delay or is there actually missing footage, and if so how much exactly? that is, does the defective LD match the TR47 or the anamorphic rip of ESB? i recently purchased the definitive laser box set, but i haven't got a player yet to check ESB. i wish i discovered this forum before i purchased, but i figure either version is worth owning...

There are two different releases of the Definitive set. The first accidentally omitted the welding footage. A second release corrected that. The TR47 set used the second release. The bit of black is a mastering error on the DVD only, not the laserdisc. A MINOR flaw at best.
