You can get the 2001 special edition set on dvd that includes the original cuts on separate Discs for only a few bucks
I have those but he intentionally gave us the "original" versions on that set in awful quality, plus weren't they still altered somehow? I know it sounds stupid to complain about quality when I'm talking about watching on VHS, but that DVD copy has always seemed off to me.

They’re the original cuts. No changes I’m aware of but possible. I love the old grainy genuine look and feel. No alterations.
I’ll watch them over the special editions every time
I remember now why I never put those on. Terrible 4:3 square format, looks like total ass on today's widescreen HD sets. Guess I need to find an old CRT to hook the DVD player up to!

Is it true that Luke’s lightsaber is green so that it stands out against the Tatoonie sky? If so that’s kind of a real word practically that makes you unenthusiastically go “oh”.

Actually dime, I think that is the reason. IIRC, it was so it would stand out better against the blue skies of Tattooine. It was changed fairly late in the production, too.

Are we sure? Remembering the deleted scene with Luke building the saber (which should have been left in I think) But either way it’s cool. It added so much to the canon and in nothing but great ways.

I've heard this too.

I watched return of the Jedi last night On Disney +
They’ve changed and cut loads of it. It’s mental.
I'm curious about this. What's different? I thought the D+ version was unchanged from the 2011 Blu Ray.
Palpatine doesnt die. Instead - he stops throwing lightning bolts at Luke and just tells him "ill be back" and flys out of the death star before it blows up
