You'll find it eventually. Check eBay & Amazon frequently. Plus, you can always get d_j's version, or the Lucasfilm Pwnage version.

Those DC LDs are notorious rotters, but the book alone is worth the price you paid, even if the discs are no good. My book didn't have a slipcover, either. I got a used set, too, so I'm wondering if the books in that set even had slipcovers to begin with?

 

Noo....NOOOOOOO!! I don't know much about LD deterioration over time. I hope the discs are okay (to the naked eye they are, but one can't see oxidation on the disc), but I may never even know...

For some reason I thought the book at a cover in some images or youtube videos I've seen, but I think I was mistaken.

Again, for $20 it's a great, great find.

As for the LE discs, I don't want to pay out of the wazoo for them. I'm kicking myself a bit because even 6 months ago I could have gotten them. The re-released trilogy pack from 2008 has been cheap for a couple years ($30 on amazon) and now it's under crazy demand. Today I went to two Barnes and Noble stores, two Targets, and a Best Buy. No luck for the individuals or pack. One B&N checked and said it was recalled in April, just when pre-orders for the blu-ray began. I wish I had the foresight to snatch those dvds up.

I haven't really been into SW much for a couple years in that the last SW products I bought were the 2004 dvd set and 2005 ROTS dvd. Sometime around 2006 when those LE discs came out I resolved to not give Lucas my money for them because it wasn't a proper release. I didn't want to buy the 2004 versions again to get a "bonus feature." Yet, now we see that the UOT most likely won't see any future release. Then again, we've all thought these things before and I would not be surprised if in a couple years Lucas releases the UOT on blu-ray. If that happens George will have fooled me again!
