Everywhere I look that says “original triliogy” it’s always the second re-mastering, never the remastering that was released in the 1990s or the original un-remastered versions

Were they ever released on DVD? I have the VHS tapes. I thought the best quality version was laserdisc. Beyond that, they were all the remastered editions.
That’s where I’m not sure. According to wikipedia, no. So then yeah, laserdisc would provide the best image for those releases at 425, but a PAL laserdisc would give 440, in contrast to VHSs NTSC resolution of 240. That said, the 90s release was itself a 20th anniversary remaster of the originals, though allegedly there exists a copy for long term preservation that was never released. But, I’d have sworn that the 20th remaster saw a limited release on DVD, but that would again be something to be found on eBay or from a collector if it exists.
I thought the first Star Wars DVD was the Phantom Menace in 2001, and the original (remastered) trilogy weren’t released on DVD until 2004.
