I don’t know if this counts, but Olive the Other Reindeer had around 2 additional minutes of footage on VHS that’s not available on DVD.
It counts, but where can that information be verified?

Good to know. Whoever’s in charge of this now, know I have some notes (adding some additional extras/trailers fixing/adding audio).
Let me know if they or anyone here is interested in hearing them. Thanks.
I don’t know if this was brought up, but once Harmy finishes up a V3.0 of ANH, will you too revisit your Blu-ray edition? Like adding or fixing anything because I do have some notes, but I need your permission to proceed or if you want me to PM to you, whatever you want.
Not this year (and apparently not on January 1st). 😉
And tonight, there’s a silver lining to those employees about to unfortunately be laid off:

I say let the main saga end at IX (as George intended) and keep making spin-off films.
What they could do is look into their archives and look at some concepts for unproduced non-SW material and work from there.

**Don’t say it’ll never happen! We already got the Peanuts specials released in 4k UHD with both SDR and HDR versions included, and I’m pretty sure at least one of the Ewok movies actually got a theatrical release.
Yep. Caravan of Courage (and that ironically was distributed overseas by Fox).
