Unfortunatly since I don't have either a laserdisc player or a video, all I can do is sit down and watch the wonders of Star Wars on DVD. But since I don't own any bootleg versions, all I can do is watch the 2004 editions.
Which is better than nothing for now!

Ooo maxy-bif this Farce!

It's true, that line is definitely still there - though he does make this stupid noise when Luke spins and points the blaster at him. Just one of those annoying new/changed sounds that Lucas insidiously injects every two minutes or so.

That noise Yoda makes was always there...

"I feel like......"

"Feel like what?"

"Like we're being watched"

"Eeerrrgghh.....Away put your weapon, I mean you no harm"

Always there!!

See I'm just like Solo.

I've had plenty of women, none that I really loved, untill I met the mother of my future kid.
I love her more than anything.

Just coz Solo was with another bird, doesn't mean he was in love with her!

Well my girlfriend has not yet had the pleasure of waching all 5 films.
She's promised that she will watch 4 - 6 on dvd soon.
So far she's had to put up with me watching any one of the films on a weekly basis, normally on a saturday or sunday morning

She's let me put up 5 movie posters in frames along our hallway going up to the loft conversion

Good girl!

So now she needs to watch the original trilogy and fully appreciate the wonder of SW.

And my kid will arrive on December 12th, so he/she will be brainwashed from an early age. Keep SW in the family for ever!!

London, 1977, Odean Cinema Leicester Square, with my Uncle. Fell asleep coz I thought it was boring!

I was young!

When it came to our local, which was 3 mins walk from our house, I saw it again, and again. Watched the other 2 even more times than Star Wars. I was hooked by 78. Which was when I got my first figure, Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi.

.
By the time Jedi came to our cinema, I was old enough to go when ever I wanted too. That was about 17 times, in the 3 weeks it ran. Happy days!

Me neither. Seems to me a lot of people here are making up crap about these DVDs so they can slam them, for no other reason than they aren't the originals.

Yeah man, I'm making it all up!!!

Yeah, but which original DVDs? TR47? Dr. Gonzo? I tailor a few things on the covers to properly represent the set in question. I figure it'll make it easier for those of us with varying sets. (And I think it looks cool.

)

And the original movie poster images are what I'm using for the covers... took a while to track down hi res images for each one, but I've got 'em and the covers are coming along nicely. (Man, we need a nice communal FTP server for all this stuff!)

The versions that on sale in stores now

They are the only ones I have..

Right,

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!
