I found a VHS copy of Episode III online.

Could these be sourced and made into DVDs instead of some bootleg source?

also, in case Episode III isn't available and I am just dillusional... my friend has an old bootleg copy (don't worry he owns the official DVD) that was pretty ****ing clean and was released a month before the DVD. Could this be the theatrical one or is it more likely the DVD screener or some ish?

Thanks in advance


I think you may be delusional. I don't think Episode III was officially available on VHS. I remember this caused quite a stink: some completists complained since all the other SW movies had been released on VHS.

There is a theatrical bootleg version of Episode III on DVD. It was sourced from a real thetrical DVD, transferred to Divx, then transferred back to a single layer DVD. This version is missing the end credits. It looks quite good, but there are some artifacts in the blacks as a result of the conversion to Divx.


Episode III was released on VHS in the UK as well as elsewhere (Australia and New Zealand I think).

I have just checked Amazon UK and Ebay UK and they seem to be going for very silly money - up to £40!!!!!
