Too subtle, this one is more appropriate
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6NPIN_OTLwWow - I don’t recall ever seeing that video before… nice find Mocata - and quite a sobering one too.
The full works on it:-
'Original Star Wars Trilogy - Buy It Now Or Lose It Forever (1996):-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6NPIN_OTLw - at the Bamptonoid youtube channel. (28 seconds)
The blurb:-
“Star Wars VHS Trilogy Australian-TV Ad (1996)”
The voiceover:-
“Star Wars… The Empire Strikes Back… Return Of The Jedi…
Your last chance to own the original Star Wars is almost gone… Buy it today - or lose it forever…”
And none of us at the time realized just how honest they were actually being with that tag line! Doh!
Aye mate, it is now 25 years since the last dedicated official release of the unaltered theatrical version of the Original Trilogy…
We are also on the 5th incarnation of George’s continually changing ‘vision’ for these iconic films - currently have a tag line of ‘Maclunkey’ instead - and now a whole generation of fans denied a modern & dedicated retail release of landmark film history, one that stood proud and available for some 20 years previous.
The original and authentic version of the three classic Star Wars movies which underpin the entire Galaxy Far Far Away, on a modern digital format, is nowhere to be found. Well, not officially…
I best step off my soapbox again 😉
