^ the trailer in question
I need to know for a little trailer parody I’m doing for a YouTube video I like (imbiamba jombes: big doom) so I can get the music right.
I’ve also come to the conclusion that Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (very underrated!) also fits my description of “hypnotic”.
You could always piece it together from some ANH footage (Falcon approaching Yavin) and use some color replacement/a color change mask on Yavin to make it green. (As that’s what it appears to be.)
I always liked that unstacked-but-still-italic ESB logo on the spines.
I would prefer a 2003 or 2008 style set.
There will be a separate bonus disc featuring some other Gus Johnson/Imbiamba Jombes-related videos (my roof, crayons, my garden, custom trailers for the Trilogy, poster gallery, etc.)
As long as the covers could stand close scrutiny against the official Indiana Jones counterparts, it’s OK.
Deal with it, internet, I think these are funny, and I’m putting them on DVDs because I just feel like it.
I think I recognize Take 19 of the SW theme from the opening to the 2004 DVD (where they have the SW logo with the little ANH clips going back slowly and the IV and the ANH title coming up with a flare and lightsaber sound).
Cool stuff!
Depends on what I feel like seeing, usually 2011 steelbooks because they’re at least in HD.
I also sometimes watch DeD or Revisited via the Internet Archive.

Added:
The Return of Godzilla (1984), BD (finally!)
By hypnotic, I mean a movie that, from the moment it started, just drew you in and made you want to keep watching and see what was going to happen in one way or another.
For me, the movie that fits this description is Hitchcock’s Vertigo.
I managed to get the original Vol. 10 (not .2) DVD set for only about $20, and I must say, the Godzilla vs. Megalon episode would be worth the $500-600 they’re asking for on eBay.
I was born in 2007, and I’ve always had an instinctive love for anything Star Wars, as the very first movie I ever saw was the '04 version of ANH via the Best Buy tin of GOUT DVDs. (I still have them, but they’re near unplayable now.) By the time I was 3, I had already seen the then complete saga. For some reason, ROTJ was always my favorite, and still is today, but I assure you, it’s not because it’s “the one with the Ewoks” like most of my family likes it for. I managed to be able to see every Disney-era SW in theaters multiple times, with the ST, each time seemed to take a layer of color away from the rose-colored glasses of the excitement of seeing a new Star Wars. I noticed new flaws and ultimately decided to try my best to ignore the Canon timeline and stick to Legends, which is what I grew up on.
I like the OT, PT, and Rouge One equally.
I’ve always had a sizeable collection of Star Wars toys and collectibles with the bulk of it being stuff from the '90s Power of the Force and Power of the Jedi lines, purchased from places like 2nd and Charles.
So yeah.
We have Alien 3 in HD but we still don’t have Star Wars.

Added
No Time To Die (2021)
You do realize they’re eventually gonna tie into the ST one way or another.
Yeah, but it’s nice to have a temporary illusion of a fresh start.
Well I hated the title of TLJ, but thought TRoS was a perfect title.
But there’s not a single rising Skywalker, just a Palpatine and a Solo.
ANH: Replace Alec Guinness with Ewan McGregor from the near future
ESB: More Fett
ROTJ: Have the construction on the DSII actually make a bit of fairly noticeable progress during the movie.
TPM: Remove Jar Jar and find some other way to get to Theed that would still be semi-exciting.
AOTC: Remove mention of Death Star and save the reveal for ROTS
ROTS: Put all the deleted scenes back in.
TFA: Snoke is Plagueis (just for the heck of it.)
TLJ: DJ stays with the good guys the whole time
TROS: New script that actually redeems the ST after the abysmal TLJ.
