Original Star Wars and Laserdiscs

Watched the original Star Wars on laserdisc last night. Slightly effeminate hero, creepy (knowing what comes next) incest subtext, cornball dialogue. Still, a simple story that moves along at a good pace, and not a horribly stereotyped black, Jewish or Asian Muppet to be seen. Meesah say about fifty billion times better than all three crappy second trilogy movies. 

 Yes, I still have my laserdisc player. I used to have a long list of why I like laserdiscs better than DVDs. The big one is still that lasers were limited to an hour of recorded material per side, so you don't have to sit through fifteen previews and FBI warnings that you can't skip over and stupid menus that give away key plot elements and "commentaries don't reflect the blah-blah of Paramount" warnings, etc. like you're stuck with on DVDs. With laserdics, the movies just start. That's still the big selling point for me.
