Title says it all.

I have the 1990s remastering on VHS, but my VCR doesn't work anymore

I have the original phantom menace on VHS and original versions of 2 and 3 on DVD

so what do I have to search to find those?

there's also 4k80 and 4k83 for the other films, and they are all available with or without noise reduction. the no-dnr versions have incredible detail (to the extent of seeing flaws in the sets and costumes in some cases) but the film grain varies in size and contrast pretty wildly from scene to scene due to having various sources so it can be distracting, the DNR versions are oversmoothed IMO so I just watch with the grain intact.

They have some issues where there are colour and contrast variances scene to scene, again thats from having multiple film sources of various ages and generations, and their intent to do minimal colour correction. sometimes better quality film is found and the releases are updated with that.

They dont intend to be "perfect" but they are sourced directly from projection copies that people watched in the day, which may include some flaws that other versions like Harmy's aim to fix.
