Ratings creep and the rhodian who flunked out of the stormtrooper academy.

Actually, I don't think that skyman's argument is entirely without merit. Planet of the Apes (1968) is rated G and features nudity and swearing; Jaws almost certainly would get a PG-13 today; GL had THX-1138 re-rated and got an R for his director's cut. The 1997 board was definitely more conservative than the 1977 board, and GL may have done it as a pre-emptive strike.
As for Spielberg and the guns vs. walkie talkies, terrorist vs. hippie, etc., none of those changes would have changed the rating.

My 1983 CED disc is what is imprinted on me. It was time compressed, pan and scan and featured the original Dolby Stereo mix. I used to watch that disc every day after school when my family first got our CED player. This was even before ROTJ was released. Anytime anything deviates from my memory of that disc, it pulls me out of the film.

Neil, do you still have that disc? Just curious.
