Depends on the mood but these are the ones I usually go to.
I have many, many different versions of each film but these are the ones I watch most:
The Phantom Menace:
VHS or BD.
Attack of the Clones:
VHS, ADigitalMan’s Extended Version or BD
Revenge of the Sith:
VHS (yes, really) or BD
A New Hope:
'92 VHS release (OOT), '97 Laserdisc or '06 Limited Edition release
The Empire Strikes Back:
'92 VHS release (OOT) or '11 BD
Return of the Jedi:
'92 VHS release (OOT) or '06 Limited Edition release
The Force Awakens:
BD, if I have to…
I very rarely meddle in fan edits or preservations, the only ones I regularly go to in that regard are the ADM Extended versions, but that’s it. Part of being a massive SW home video collector also includes an annoying tendency to not want to watch any of the films in a format other than official releases, for reasons that make very little sense.
Nothing about this post makes sense…
And to me making fan edits that chop out half a movie make no sense, but I pay no notice because everyone has their own preferences.
My preferences are weird and aren’t supposed to make sense, I just watch those ones because that’s what I like.
I love the feel of VHS which is why I use it so often, but I also sometimes want to sit down and watch a film in the best quality possible on my home theater set-up, which is why I then go for the BD or highest quality OOT I have available at the time.
In regards to TFA, I’m just not a huge fan.
I initially liked it but became more and more sour about it after every viewing; instead of getting a new Star Wars movie we got something that was both lazy and unoriginal with nothing going for it but nostalgia beats and the odd glimmer of something that could have been much better. That’s just my opinion anyway, I know a lot of people like TFA and that’s cool, not gonna lose sleep over it 😉
