I don’t know if there are official NTSC releases of the 2019 ‘Maclunkey’ Special Editions available to buy in North America.
However, IF you were happy to have an official PAL version on DVD of the 2019 ‘Maclunkey’ Special Editions on import… and also have a multi-region DVD player (or a DVD player that can be made multi-region)… then this may be an option:-
https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Skywalker-Complete-Boxset/dp/B082WXXG7F (circa $57?) - and maybe at other places too?
Thanks for the info oojason (and everyone who has responded thus far)!
I think the biggest issue would be the CRT TV that I’d be playing them on. From what I understand (and I could be wrong) even region free discs may have playback issues on a CRT because of the frame rate differences between NTSC and PAL. They would play, but be unwatchable.
I mention region free discs specifically because I thought I once saw a review of that 9-disc DVD set that claimed it was actually region free (unfortunately I do not have region free player in my basement setup, so a region free release would be my best option… if it weren’t for the possible NTSC vs PAL issue).
At any rate, it’s odd that the “powers that be” decided that North America shouldn’t get the latest versions of Star Wars on DVD, while many other countries have. From what I understand, DVD is still technically the biggest selling physical format when it comes to movie media.
