I would like to know if the 1995 Star Wars Trilogy VHS pictured below has any of the changes like on the DVD's. I was looking for the original movies like shown in theaters with Han shoots first. Thanks!!!!!

Yes! Anything made before 1997 is original theatrical. I was able to find some 2006 DVDs that had very slight changes but no CGI or added scenes.
-
Great, I'll be sending them off to be professionally transferred to archival DVD's.
Which 2006 DVD's do you have?
-
I'll have to check when I get home. But they were sold as a 2 pack to each film. A bonus Original version and SE version.
The changes were subtle they just added subtitles in Jabbas palace that didn't need to be there, because 3PO was translating. Other than that I love them, that's the only version I watch.
-
DVD's with both SE and Original Theatrical edition:

But the original version will have black bars on top and bottom and sides when viewed on a widescreen tv. Also, the video quality is not as good.
-
They're formatted for wide screen picture quality is same as VHS. same exact thing as the 1995-1996 VHS but wide screen DVD. It has black stripes top and bottom. If you transferred a VHS directly on to DVD it would be boxed in on all sides.
I want to watch star wars tonight anyway so I'll take a picture of the screen with today's newspaper.

Unlike the Limited Edition Widescreen DVD set, at least from what I remember before they disappeared at an ex gf's place.... the 95 VHS set have better color/picture quality than the "direct from Laserdisc" Original DVDs.
I am referring of course to the THX Remastered VHS version of the OT.
-
He's right it is a copy of the laserdisc. Its a great DVD to have, extremely rare if you find one at a good price grab it with both hands. A word to the wise different countries have different zones on the DVD players. I accidentally bought a zone 2 European DVD instead of a zone 1. I have no idea why they do that but be careful.
-
Which type of VHS tapes would be better to play on a widescreen tv, full screen or widescreen?
-
I need to see as I have a DVD/VCR recorder hooked up to my high def tv. I will try that by this weekend and try to remember to let you know.
-
For those that have the widescreen VHS version, how much does the letter box black boxes cover your widescreen tv compared to the newer dvd's in widescreen format?
-
I think I'm going to go another route. Would anyone be interested in these new VHS tapes?
