Hi. I found this site after reading some reviews of the new (2004) original trilogy release on buy.com.
I recently saw Sith and wanted to see the originals again and then found out that you can't
really get the originals on dvd. You can buy tapes on ebay from 1995 or so which are more or less the originals.
Anyway I looked on ebay and decided to risk it and bought a set of 3 dvds claiming to be more or
less the originals and not the 1997 SE. I got them today and am very pleased with them. I paid $30 with
shipping.
They look like Asian releases but are in NTSC, THX, widescreen and english and have professional covers not anything
homemade. There is no menu, extras or anything but I dont care. I believe this is a legitimate asian release
from 1994 or something. The video quality is excellent so I believe it not just a transfer from a video
but an actual transfer/remaster from film.

I would say if you look on ebay just be careful about reading what you are buying and the feedback
of the seller. I just looked on there and someone is selling some Asian dvd releases in a 5 dvd set.
They look like what I bought but with the last two movies as well. If you dont see anything you like
just wait and watch until you do!
