Box set containing these cassettes (Click to see more):
Star Wars Trilogy Limited Edition Collector's Set, Widescreen, VHS, 20th Century-Fox Home Ent, USA 1997
In 1997 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment published a lavish, limited edition box set of the Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition on VHS and Laserdisc. The box is a heavy cardboard box, covered in black faux-leather vinyl. Though you can't tell from the pictures, Vader's features are slightly embossed on the front. Nice touch!
Inside you'll find all three films in Widescreen format in Hi-Fi Stereo, as well as a separate tape featuring "The Making of Star Wars Special Edition" documentary.
The accompanying artbook is a soft cover 56-page book with lavish illustrations and sketches from the Special Editions. (This is a different book to the one they show on the info leaflet that was on the back under the shrinkwrap. They must have changed it in the last minute.)
I bought my set second hand on eBay (naturally) in 2010. While the box set was opened, the actual tapes were still shrinkwrapped, so I haven't wanted to play them and check for any differences to other releases. |
