Who knows...I stopped paying attention when I heard that the Blu-Ray versions are altered even more than the "special edition" (post-1997) releases, and don't include the original theatrical release versions. There are plenty of secondhand DVD copies available on Amazon Marketplace.
If your VHS tapes are the originals (pre-1997), hang onto them. And let us pray that Lucas does not alter them further. Barb Bergman | Media Services & Interlibrary Loan Librarian | Minnesota State University, Mankato | (507) 389-5945 | barbara.berg...@mnsu.edu
VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
