yeah no worries...its a 4 video deluxe boxset that was released in a limited edition metal tin in I think 1995. It's wide screen presentations of the OT (I think it's the same as the THX last time OT ever to be released vids) on 3 videos, each video also has trailers and I think a documentary about the making of the film, the 4th video is essentially the original 3 making of videos (making of star wars, from star wars to jedi & classic creatures....all previously released).

the set also contains the Star Wars scripts & some art prints. It's a great set, I think it originally sold for about £50, I've known people to get lucky & buy it from ebay for a mere £20, but then some who have paid £100's, just keep an eye out & you might strike it lucky, defintely for me it was the Holy Grail.

It's packed away at the mo as I've just recently moved, I'll try and dig it out tomorrow & fully list the contents as I'm sure I've left a few things out!

It's quite interesting watching all the documentaries & interviews with George Lucas over the years & various releases of the OT, you really can see where he's changed his mind. Nowadays he claims it's the way it was always meant to be, but it seems it wasn't...perhaps that's why he wants rid of the OT once & for all, its not the movies but the evidence of him contradicting himself that he's trying to eradicate!!!
