I *have* the VHS tapes. They're just nearly worn through.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I have the VHS tapes, too. The only re-release I saw was the first one, and the scene with Jabba (which completely changed the context of Han Solo's character and flight from Tatooine (sp?)) was enough to convince me to avoid the rest.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Stupid Question:
WHY did they remove the jub-jub song?

Couldn't negotiate a rights agreement with the Alien Society of Composers and Artists.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Because it's really lame?

Lameness has NEVER been a factor in any Lucasfilm decision. Witness Han Solo shooting last.

He has to get some stuff right.

I miss the Jub-Jub song.

I'm wagering that if he never got anything right, we wouldn't be having this discussion, since we'd never have seen or liked SW the first time round.
