Well put.
DaveMMR:
Isn't the half-assed DVD release of the original cuts just the Laserdisc version in a manageable size?

Those things take up too much room. I have one and can't bring myself to rid myself of it and it hogs the closet. Although, there's still a handful of discs not available on DVD (a lot of music titles particularly), those numbers are dwindling. And with the internet - it's all practically moot anyhow.
ChadTower:
How many of us remember these movies primarily from cable TV showings and actually prefer them on a 24" CRT?

PFFT! 19"!
Actually I'm 40 yo and saw at least one of the movies in the theater w/my Dad. And I'm glad I'm a super late adopter and therefore never had any LD's or betamax, etc.
ChadTower:
I think I remember seeing Return of the Jedi in the theater for one of the rereleases. Other than that I've never seen any of the original three that way. I used to watch them over and over and over on TBS marathons, though.
