If onlyĀ unencumberedĀ versions were available. I miss my old VHS tapes.
ReplyDeleteColin, the original theatrical versions will never be seen again. Its sad. The 2006 VCR tapes are close.

There is a noticeable change in the 1994 VHS: many shoot out scenes were recut and censored, just check the Prision block fight on the bonus dvd and the new ones to see!
ReplyDeletebest,
Good one. I'll check it out.

Two quick observations.
ReplyDelete- When referring to the actress originally portraying the Emperor, you use the word "actoress".
- There isn't a mention of the change of music in the ending of RotJ from the "yub nub" song to Victory Celebration in the Special Edition. While there are a great deal of other changes, this one was always a major one for me, so was surprised not to see it there.
Thanks for that Kathy. I'll check the spelling again.
