I don’t see that I’ve commented on this before.

Ep VII Blu-ray/DVD/Digital
Ep VIII blu-ray/DVD/Digital
Rogue One Blu-ray/DVD/Digital
Solo Blu-Ray/DVD/Digital

And I expect
Ep IX Blu-ray/DVD/Digital
18 disc Blu-ray saga set

why do you buy this 3 times as bluray,dvd and download??
weird…

I didn’t buy those three times. I bought the BR/DVD/Digital set. Slightly more than the BR/Digital set, but a lot less than they are in 4K (which I have no use for). Now, much earlier in my list, I did buy the same thing in multiple formats, sometimes 3 times (the OT Faces set and the OT SE set). I did buy the BR/DVD version of the two trilogy box sets just because I wanted the 5.1 surround from the DVD (which is not on the BR). Probably weird, but there is usually a reason.

Weird that you’ve apparently never come across a Blu-Ray bundled with a DVD and a digital download code…they’re extremely common (though including a DVD is becoming significantly less common).

Captainsolo, You forgot you have the 97SE on Laserdisc, and the 2011 set in the background of your videos is actually the 2015.

Doh! You’re right can’t believe I forgot the SE LD box. That was actually the first major LD purchase I ever made back in about 2009 or so along with You Only Live Twice and The Spy Who Loved Me.
The 2015 BD release is much better than the 2011 because of the slim box and an actual case. I need to track down a ROTS BD copy to complete it.

I have:

VHS - '95 Trilogy THX Edition, '97 Trilogy Special Edition

Blu-ray - 2011 The Complete Saga, Episode VII, Episode VIII, Episode IX (pre-ordered), Rogue One, Solo

When my girlfriend moved in, she had the Prequel Trilogy on Blu-ray, the Original Trilogy on DVD and The Force Awakens on Blu-ray. She keeps her collection separate from mine. I bought her copies of The Last Jedi and Rogue One for Christmas last year and will get her The Rise of Skywalker and Solo for Christmas this year. She likes having her own collection.

the ones I have bought …1992 Special Collectors edition widescreen VHS set , I plopped down 120 bucks for it after seeing it in Suncoast Motion Picture Company and it was the first time I saw the film in widescreen outside of the times I saw them in the theater . I had the pan and scan tapes beginning in 1987 after they were given to me in clear plastic cases from someone I knew who ran a small video rental store and got extra copies of the tapes…1997 special edition pan and scan gold box set …2000 Vhs Box set Pan and scan because it was cheap and I liked the packaging . 2004 DVD silver box set .All three of the Walmart exclusive GOUT with the comic adaptations . The widescreen vhs collectors edition of TPM . The DVD of TPM ( it was my first dvd and I bought my first dvd player with it , an APEX which I still have) AOTC widescreen DVD , ROTS Widescreen DVD TFA blu ray ,TLJ blu ray and a friend bought my a basic blu ray player with the 2015 blu ray box set as a gift that year.I also bought the 95 faces vhs pan and scan box for 10 bucks from a dear departed friend in 2010.

I’ve bought them pretty much as many times as anyone on here. But my first version of Star Wars was taped off the TV. This was waaaaay back when buying a VHS tape of SW was more or less impossible and certainly out of my financial bounds. My Mum (who I didn’t live with) arranged for someone with awesome TV reception to tape the film and edit the ads out as it played. This was a wonderful surprise Xmas gift and very much a prized possession. I wish I still had it…

The Target-Exclusive 4 Disc version of Rise of Skywalker has been preordered and will arrive soon.

Here goes:

  • Three different UK VHS editions of the original trilogy. I can’t remember if the first set was pan and scan but the second one was widescreen with a dark colour scheme and silver lettering. Unfortunately I fell for the hype around the final, THX release of the OT editions and sold the black VHS tapes - big mistake. The THX tapes had dreadful, smeary noise reduction.

  • ‘Exclusive’ box set of the OT SE DVDs from a UK record store chain that doesn’t exist anymore (MVC maybe, not sure). The discs were not unique but they came in a decent quality black card box. Still have that, plus the separate prequel DVDs.

  • ‘Complete Saga’ blu-ray box, with the painting on the front. Does anyone know who did that, by the way?

  • First issue blu-ray discs for the sequel trilogy (Ep. IX on the way), Solo (4k) and Rogue One.

A really sturdy and beautifully crafted box - it now houses my Despecialized Edition blu rays.

A shame about MVC - they often did some intriguing content and extras like that box. Decent prices too 😃

That’s the one 😃

HMV have the occasional UK exclusive. There is one at the moment for 1917, and they had some great steelbooks for Blade Runner 2049. Zavvi have some interesting stuff too.

Can’t wait to get my hands on the next version of Despecialized.

  • 1996 VHS of the OT (Norwegian release). 1999 thrift purchase, and the only copies I have left from my childhood.
  • 1999 VHS of TPM (Norwegian release).
  • 2002 VHS of AOTC (Norwegian release). By the time ROTS was released I was old enough to be disillusioned by the PT so I never bothered to get a copy.
  • 2004 DVD set of the OT SE (Norwegian release). Only OT set I bought when it was new, and I mostly just bought it for the bonus features disc.
  • 1997 VHS set of the OT SE (UK release). Thrift buy just for the sake of having it in the collection.
  • 2015 Blu-ray set of the OT SE (Norwegian release). Only got it for the sake of getting the despecialized editions.
  • plus Blu-rays of all the new films as they were released.

(BTW. I just now noticed the little “1130” code at the bottom of my 1996 ANH tape and now its really bothering me. What a missed opportunity.)

Bought new:
-standard Blu-ray releases of TFA and R1
-4k steelbooks of TLJ and Solo
-digital copy of TROS (purely a quarantine impulse buy)
-Best Buy Skywalker Saga 4k box set

Bought used:
-2006 GOUT dvd set
-2011 PT blu-ray set

Received as gifts:
-1997 fullscreen SE VHS tapes
-individual PT dvd releases
-2004 OT widescreen dvd set
-2011 OT blu-ray set

Didn’t feel too bad about scooping up the new set because I really haven’t paid for any of these myself more than once, and because it seems likely that this is it for physical media releases apart from repacks.

The circle is now complete. Here is a photo of my Star Wars video collection. I have no intention of getting the Attack of the Clones trailer scanned yet.

Wow, you’ve even got CED’s. I don’t think those ever existed on the Scandinavian market (or anywhere in Europe for that matter?) so I know very little about them, are they rare or expensive?

Next time I’m in the US I’ll have to track down one of those Star Wars to Jedi tapes. It’d be worth having in my collection just for that cover. Also, what format is that TPM box on the far left?

CEDs were available in the UK for about a year. That TPM is a widescreen VHS collector’s edition. Above Battle for Endor is a 35mm trailer for Attack of the Clones.

Update: I forgot to put the Phineas and Ferb Star Wars in the first photo.

I also replaced the time compressed Pan and Scan Empire LD with a Japanese full speed Pan and Scan version also on LD.

I guess I should update this since it’s been… a decade?

This is just the Original Trilogy.

My parents had:

Star Wars Videodisk CED (I grew up with a VHS copy of that)
Empire VHS (one of the first VHS tapes)
Jedi VHS (one of the first VHS tapes)

I’ve had:

“Faces” Trilogy VHS in 1995
97SE Widescreen Trilogy VHS in 1997
Episode I Deluxe Widescreen VHS in 1999
Episode I DVD in 2001
Episode II DVD in 2002
04SE Widescreen Trilogy DVD in 2004
Episode III DVD in 2005

11SE Blu-rays (purchased used individually, some from a going-out-of-business Blockbuster Video)
ESB GOUT (used media store in 2018)
ANH GOUT (shrink-wrapped from a local grocery store in 2019)
The Digital Six Film Collection (Microsoft in 2019)
19SE UHDs (purchased individually last week)
ROTJ GOUT (eBay this week)
ANH GOUT (“fullscreen”, so I don’t have to open mine, eBay this week)

I found a “Faces” VHS set somewhere in the last decade, I have that too.

I’m planning on using a friend’s custom cases to store each 19SE UHD, 11SE BD, 04SE DVD, GOUT, and the new bonus disc.

I’d like to see the custom cases once you’re finished with them.

I bought the 1995 FACES Widescreen VHS OT and the 1997 Special Edition VHS OT.

I just found the 1992 Widescreen OT VHS set on Ebay for $14 so I picked that up

I recently got LegacyBox to convert by Faces VHS trilogy to DVD and a digital copy on my google cloud. The DVDs they sent me back were anamorphic widescreen which was a nice surprise
