   Yeah, that's the question, isn't it?   
      
   After watching the Episode IV version on VHS (both original P&S tape   
   and later letterboxed tape), I finally bought the DVDs (the ones with   
   the originals on them as "special features", the more recent botched   
   versions being the actual film they thought they were selling a   
   license to) -- and found I missed the "Episode IV" because each of the   
   other 5 had an episode number on it.   
      
   Oh the irony! I finally get exactly what I want and find it doesn't   
   fit in with the others.   
      
   I got over it, of course.
