Three - a pan & scan VHS version (which I keep only because it’s my only copy of the “original” versions of episodes 4-6), a widescreen VHS, and the first widescreen DVD version. I didn’t get the Blu-Ray because I think there was too much tinkering with this version.
After years of avoiding everything because they weren’t pure (or whatever) I finally bought the original trilogy on BD this Christmas, because it cost $5 through various promotions I had with Best Buy.
I decided it doesn’t matter if I have some “fake” and “altered” versions of Star Wars. I wanted a nice copy of the movies, dammit! Also I’m a girl so I can have whatever version I want and still be cool.
I have the original, unaltered, trilogy on VHS that I’ve seen several times since I got it in the early 90s. My wife also bought me the two trilogies on Blu Ray a little while ago after we got our player.
Not a one. I had the VHS box set back in the day, and then I got the Laserdiscs. At some point I sold my LD player, and the discs went with it. All of this long before Lucas started screwing around with the movies. Now I’m stuck–the only way to get the real deal is the non-anamorphic widescreen that comes with that one box set. Dammit, George. :mad:
I’ve got four copies of the original movie, I think. One original VHS. One VHS boxed trilogy, one DVD, and one I taped off TV. I have two or three copies of the others. (of the original trilogy. I think I have one copy of each of the “prequels”)
