Follow-up to 'Random spoilery Star Wars thoughts' (also spoilery)



I have revised my opinion slightly. I'm okay with Kylo Ren being redeemed, but only -- ONLY -- because his father wanted it. If not for that, I'd happily see the little weasel given the full Dante's Inferno.

Aha. Well, at this point, I can't work up the energy to care what happens to him. Maybe if there are flashbacks and history given about him and the fallout with his parents, maybe I'd care. Maybe.

At this point, I just don't.

And then I was watching A New Hope online and it turned out to be that tweaked version with Greedo shooting Han. Ugh! HAN SHOT FIRST!

Now I'm not sure the VHS copies I have are the originals. I can't even watch them to check because I no longer have a VHS player. Or a working TV.

*twitch*

I wonder if it's possible to get these converted to DVD? Or do they not do that with commercial movies, only your own movies that you filmed yourself? I have no idea.

No video business will touch that stuff because of the threat of copyright enforcement. If you wished to do it yourself, then with a VHS player with analog outputs, and a converter like this (http://amzn.com/B000VM60I8), you could transfer the video to your PC.

Yeah, I figured that after thinking it through. Bah, humbug!

Thanks.

There's a guide here to the various VHS editions -- maybe that will help you figure out what you've got!

Oh, thanks. It really is confusing!
