I saw this. Can't imagine picking up new VHS cassettes, unless you still happen to have a player and it's an obscure title that isn't available on disc. I think it's funny that they recycled a tape from Green Acres.๐ Me, I got rid of my VHS player years ago. I still have a few cassettes though-- such as the original Star Wars series.

Additional material can be fun. I still laugh if you watch Galaxy Quest on DVD, and change the language from English to Thermian for all the dialogue.
Additional commentary, additional unreleased scenes, and behind the scenes are always welcome.
Sometimes additional scenes point to a different direction not taken, such as with Supernova.
Unfortunately some movies went to the well a little too often with their extended edition, special edition, ultimate edition, etc. I must have 4 different versions of Terminator 2, Blade Runner, and a film I didn't care for no matter what the version-- Alexander.
Sometimes the special editions are better. The Abyss for example. Zack Snyder's Justice League was a better version too.
Mad Max: Fury Road's Black & Chrome Edition was okay. Not sure it was needed.
Yeah, I can believe that Lucas himself doesn't want to release the original versions. They are, however, in my opinion of historical significance. They should be preserved.
I do have the original versions myself in a format that I can no longer watch. VHS.
One day, I'm hopeful the original versions will be made available again.
Lost to time?? I find that hard to believe. I can't imagine the original versions not being archived somewhere. It's not like it's an obscure film that didn't have a fan base. Surely there's a print out there.
Would happily buy the original versions again if they were ever made available.
I have no complaints. Was just happy it FINALLY came out in 4K. Was on my wish list for years.

I remember when I saw Bicentennial Man in the theater, and it wasn't framed right for the screen. There were portions that weren't meant to be shown, such as shots that included boom mics over the actors. It was weirdly distracting. Had no idea films could contain such material that in this case were in frame.
