The Empire Strikes Back, Laserdisc (CAV), Fox Video USA, 1993
|
Part of the Star Wars Trilogy - The Definitive Collection box set from the US in 1993.
The films are spread across three discs, all in the CAV format. The end of side 5, and the entire side 6 contain the bonus material, including regular interviews and featurettes, as well as still-frame galleries. After the Fox Video intro, both Empire and Jedi start with the CBS/Fox Video Special Widescreen Edition intro. The first Star Wars does not have this intro at the start, obviously due to the distribution rights being different on that particular film in 1993. The first pressings of this set was missing a few seconds of footage from beginning of side 3 on The Empire Strikes Back (the beginning of Leia's welding is skipped) and a replacement program was soon implemented. Later pressings were of course corrected. My copy, bought at the time of its release, is the original, uncorrected one. The individual jackets are bland (to put it nicely), and the high-gloss finish makes handling difficult if you want to avoid leaving fingerprints. Additionally, these sleeves have to support three heavy laserdiscs and seem prone to splitting at the seams. |
