I got out my old VHS tapes and they are much brighter than the DVD is. I had to turn up the brightness on my TV some to keep details from turning to black in some scenes, and even turned up it still doesn't get as distinct as the old tapes. Aging in the master copies, perhaps?I agree with a couple of complaints I've read, Mos Eisley is unnecessarily busy at times, it's distracting. A perfect example is when the troops walk up the the land speeder in the "aren't the droids you're looking for scene". While they are first stopping it and starting to speak, stuff KEEPS WALKING BETWEEN THEM AND THE CAMERA, including one of those big fat giraffe thingies, obscuring the entire focus of the scene. I have to wonder what the hell the rationale was for that.And the Cantina controversy.  No, not that one <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> , my own personal one: when the little bat headed alien is getting his drink at the bar, turns his head, and you can see in the eye on the left side of his head and out the eye hole on the other side of his head. It's one of those things that stick in my head, I saw it on screen back in 77 and everytime I see the Cantina scene, my mind is going "ok, wait for it, here comes the hollow headed bat monster.... NOW.... ok, back to enjoying the movie"  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />   I would have thought that with all the other changes they made in the movie, someone would surely picked up on and fixed that one; I mean they removed Wolfie for gods' sake.That's it so far, other than those couple of things, I'm having a great time. Intermission over, back to the film.</blockquote>
