Well…this is sad, but typical of Disney.
What puzzles me is that Disney still thinks the 1980’s paradigm of “VHS collecting mentality” exists. Somehow they still believe that regardless of how many times the product is released, people will re-purchase it because it has a new cover/packaging. I know this was a selling point and genius marketing strategy back in the VHS days, but how can that still be now?
It just saddens me that a classic franchise like star wars has been relegated to this throw away crap.
I still remember when star wars had a home video release date, it was a big deal. The Faces release was a big deal. So were the boxed 2004 and 2011 sets. Yes they had their problems, but at least it was relatively new product…sorta.
Other than the Lowry masters, NOTHING has been done to improve or preserve these classics, at least not officially.
I am going to go drown my sorrows over a beer, and watch 4k77.
