What is this return of the jedi disc?

It's a French Laserdisc. There was an ill conceived attempt at changing the format name to CD Video to compliment the music video/CD combo discs of the same name in the 1990's.
The name change never really caught on, (I don't think everyone was on board with it) and probably only confused people.

I have a copy of this one in my LD collection.
The master is better on this one. ANH for example looks terrible while ESB looks ok.
And yes the actual disc is golden, such a good looking object.

I don't know if Video CD was as widely marketed here. Never saw a standalone player in the U.S., you needed a CDI player, plus an extra gizmo called the digital video cartridge to play them and some full motion games.
It probably didn't help that some early CDI movies weren't authored to the VCD specs, and wouldn't play on anything else.
That new VCD's still come out in Asia boggles my mind.

I remember VCD being on display in Virgin Mega stores in the late nineties and a friend of mine from Hong Kong had a dongle that attached to the back of the PSX that turned it into a player.

Yeah, maybe there's a CDI emulator out there that can play those "digital video" titles? Can't be as hard as making something to play DIVX discs. ;)
