Star Wars, Laserdisc ("CD Video"), CBS/Fox Video. France 1990. 1130-35
Widescreen 2.35:1 - Digital Stereo (French) - PAL - 2 sides (CLV)

Though not specified anywhere on the sleeve, this is a widescreen release, featuring both a French opening crawl and French dubbing. The end credits are also in French. In 1989 European Tech company Philips, one of the inventors and major patent holders of the Laserdisc format, made a push to relaunch the Laserdisc format in Central Europe under the "CD Video" banner. The format is exactly the same as Laserdisc, with analog PAL video and PCM Stereo sound, but the actual discs were gold coloured. Unfortunately, these "CD Video" discs have a propensity for the so-called "Laser rot", and it is not uncommon that they suffer from excessive speckling, dropouts and crackling sound when played back today. My copy is okay as of 2025, thankfully.
