Even the cover art and box for this was so cool.
Me too ! The interface and the Storm trooper Weapons test alone were worth the price alone and the whole 2 discs were a rabbit hole I went down for hours on end . I was just looking at that old original thread that Gary1 linked to.
Oh yes, absolutely. Back then it seemed every Star Wars release was so cool, fun and had so many fascinating extras and content on them.
I don’t know what changed?: us all getting older, or Lucasfilm getting lazier or more profit driven? Maybe some cynicism (or experience) on our part a little too?
On ‘what changed?’ I think a little bit of everything you mention there, with more Lucasfilm getting lazier than they used to be.
Great pictures. Some awesome art used back then.
