I'd swear my Japanese import LD of SW is almost original - if you
ignore the Japanese subtitles.  WS long before the US versions were
released in that format.   My CED is a PnS - but one of the better
looing ones that format ever had.

As to the modification from the orignal - since at a previous
poster stated it was the film that started a new genre and was a
landmark.  I would think it should be preserved - for such things
as research, and historical import.  If Lucas wishes to tamper with
it for showing in the modern world so be it - as long as the
original is still available for access - though perhaps not general
release.
