In my country they released AOTC and ROTS on VHS only in widescreen.
Interesting! I’m in the UK where widescreen VHS releases had always been relatively common (especially in the case of Star Wars) but when the UK AOTC VHS was P&S only (yet the deleted scenes are W/S!), I assumed Lucasfilm had given the middle finger to analogue home video. (They even had an online disclaimer at one stage about the TPM LD…)
If you still have the Finnish AOTC VHS, can you please share some scans of the box sleeve? 😃
I do (unfortunately), I don’t have a scanner anymore but here’s how it looks.
ROTS broke the consistency. First they released TPM in P&S and WS and AOTC in WS. TPM P&S has the vertical photo on the front cover, TPM WS and AOTC have the widescreen photo + the text widescreen. ROTS has the vertical photo and no mention about widescreen, even though it is.
