    Oh wow, Laserdisc’s resolution is clearly superior.

    Before the Despecialized Edition or 4K77, THIS was the way to watch Star Wars unaltered in anything remotely close to High Definition.

    This video works well as a Full-screen vs. Widescreen comparison as well!

    Laserdisc tho a smaller screen had more definition than the VHS ever did ! I wish I could have owned one at the time it came out but I wasn't born yet haha

    laserdisc blatantly superior but humans being humans made instead wide adoption of the inferior format wich enabled them to record tv shows.

    everyone talking about the resolution is missing the big picture, and by that i mean the laserdisc is in its proper aspect ratio. no pan and scan

    Laserdisc made vhs look like a bootleg

    It appears that the VHS version used for this demonstration is from the Post-1995 remastered releases. Prior VHS releases framed the right side of the widescreen frame so that the moon on frame left was cropped out.

    Even with reduced vertical resolution due to letterboxing, Laserdisc is clearly sharper. It's a shame that more anamorphic 16:9 LD's weren't produced, but LD's sunset coincided with HDTV's (and so widescreen's) dawn so it is what it is.

    I actually love the VHS version it’s what I grew up on

    I have the Special Edition Trilogy on VHS and Laserdisc. While the LD version is better, the VHS really isn't a slouch. It looks great for the format and sounds great too. I watch both on my 4K tv and despite being analog, they look fine. A VHS in good quality and recorded in SP mode looks decent. It also helps to keep your vcr heads clean. So I open mine once in a while and clean them with a cloth and alcohol.

    The sound of laserdisc is incomparable, even on dvd or bluray!

    That laserdisc is so crisp!!! You need to do a Blade runner comparison...

    You shouldn't use the S-Video connector on the LaserDisc. The signal on the disc is composite. The player will just run it through a comb filter when outputting on S-Video.
