There are definitely people who care about those differences. There are even a few actually changes in footage, making some 1.1

By "the original" you mean the non-special edition.

But interesting to note that the true theatrical versions were never released on VHS. By the time it was released on home video, small changes had already started to be made. Pretty common for a lot of movies.
