The Original VHS release of the films. These cost me a bomb. The only way I could get hold of the films was to pay the full price in my local video store. For Empire it cost me £56. When I say me, I mean my mum.
That was my present that yaer for both X-mas and my Bday
That was in 1984 when the film first came out on video. That was the fisrt time since 81 that I saw Empire. Only 3 years, but as a kid 3 years seemed to go on forever. Anyway....
ANH (82)
ESB (84)
ROTJ (86)
Release in 1989 ish (can't exactly remember what year it was? Could of been 88.((This was the fisrt sell thru release. Just a copy of the video rental release))
First Widscreen set in 1991 (Wicked. I was like the only person who knew and liked widescreen films. Even on a shitty portable tv in my room, it was still miles better. Get to see the WHOLE film for the first time since the cinema. Wicked)
THX Picture sound remastered sound edition in 1993 ish (or whatever that set was. Funky cool covers though)
IDS Box set in 1995 (The VHS daddy. It's right next to me here...Nice)
Special Edition 1997 (Nice picture and sound compared to my old worn out copys)
Apart from the box set edition, my tapes got very used. Seen the films so many times....So many times. So when a better, newer release came out..Digitally remastered an all that shit, I just had to get them.
DVD 2004
Man, seven years since I bought SW.
Oh apart from the PT that is!
Roll on next november so I can complete the best story ever told!
