How will I know if I have a Laserdisc set of this collection that has missing footage?
Thanks in advance...........
:)
Not sure how to identify it on the box, but the missing footage is in ESB. One of the sides is supposed to start with Leia welding on the Falcon. It is missing this bit which I think is around 10 seconds. Watch for it and if necessary check it with the GOUT to make sure.

captainsolo,
Thanks for the response. What I guess I need unless someone here has it or knows for sure is this,
"The Definitive Collection Flaw List"
All info says to e-mail Ed.....but I don't know if that e-mail address is even valid anymore.

Yes, there's no way to tell the re-issue apart from actually playing it.
The first pressing is missing several seconds of footage from Disc 2, Side 3 of The Empire Strikes Back. The reissued disc starts with Leia welding, sparks and all, while the defective pressing starts with Leia hanging up her welding gear.
I imagine it's a bit late now to ask Fox to provide a corrected version!

LMAO @ Moth3r.....thanks for the giggle. I DID watch the set earlier today and it does have the "sparks and all" that you speak of so I feel better. I knew people mentioned that particular footage in other posts, I just wanted to make sure that I knew what I was looking for.
