Star Wars, VHS, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment UK, 1995
Fullscreen - Hi-Fi Stereo - PAL
When the THX releases were issued in 1995, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment went all out. These were premium items, with the logos in metallic red printing on the covers. The films were released in both Widescreen and Full frame versions concurrently.
Part 1 of Leonard Maltin's promotional interview with George Lucas appears before the film starts. The original Star Wars was advertised as being available for the last time in its original form, as Lucas was planning a special edition to supplant it. The plans were later altered to include the sequels as well. Lucas kept his promise, with the exception of the unaltered trilogy being released as "supplemental material" on the 2006 re-release on DVD. In the UK, some of these came with several promotional leaflets for other Star Wars products. While the Widescreen tapes had inside art specific to each film, these Fullscreen editions all have the same promotion for other 20th Century Fox video titles.
