They were also how many of us fell in love with movies that were, to be fair, never meant to be hacked and slashed into a 3:4 aspect ratio. <\/p>\n<p>They were but flickering facsimiles of the real deal; an imperfect but ultimately vital step in ushering in a new era of cinematic accessibility. VHS was, as the video essay below puts it: not great, but good enough. The static, scanlines, and pan-and-scan were a small price to pay to get to watch <em><strong>Star Wars: A New Hope<\/strong> <\/em>multiple times.<\/p>\n<p>Except convenience isn\u2019t the whole story.
