Taking some time off for a while to concentrate on an extensive work project coming up - so I’ll only be popping in quickly on the rare occasion.
Anchorhead, SilverWook, and Tobar are the top, top, top people to send PMs / help address any issues in the meantime 👍
Stay well and take care.
MTFBWY all.

Boonta Eve originated on Droids?
Yes mate 😃
General Grievous’ ‘wheel bike’ also first appeared on Droids, I think Bogden (the swamp planet) was first mentioned in Droids - and the Baobab family too (also mentioned later in the Prequels?)
‘Kybo Ren’ too.
Quite disturbing the useless information that stays in the mind - yet the more important stuff… no chance!
So happy to see this!
Is this the first time that the first story (The White Witch saga) has been commercially available?
Definitely been up and available on youtube 😉 I think it may have been on released on VHS - but not on the DVD releases?
the ugnaught, Video Collector, or pittrek would likely know for sure (they’ve all done preservations for Droids previously).

As with the previous ‘Star Wars: Vintage Collection’ releases on Disney+… Star Wars: Droids appears to be upscaled to HD too.

I imagine the Boba Fett & Mandalorian fans will be heading straight to “A Race to the Finish” (episode 4)…
Someone needs to make & share a mockup of the opening crawl, "Fuck it, somehow Palpatine returned.”
Please.Password: fanedit
Brilliant 👍 - I hope that makes it in as an easter egg (or on ‘The Making Of’).
Nice one, nobodybutjarjar42 👍

Hello here it is, finally have them!!! i´ll search this for YEARS and it is very very rare in the condition i have.
Plus I have Ewoks and Droids cartoon, Ewoks Caravan and battle for endor in mexican BETA and VHS too
Superb OT Beta set MasterKal - thank you very much for posting this rare set up on here 👍
They look to be in fantastic condition too!
Do you know if there were any box set releases from any other South American countries before the 1997 and 2000 Special Edition video releases?
In other hand, i just aquire the VideoVisa 1988 trilogy on Beta Format, those are very very rare.
Wow - very nice. It would be great to see a few pictures of them, if okay with you?
There is a The Original Trilogy on Betamax (Beta) thread which may be of interest 😃
Good to see this mammoth project get some deserved interest and love - hopefully a few more people will leave some reviews or feedback for this.
Well in, deadakaalive 👍
There are a whole host of Original Trilogy ‘Making Ofs’ / BTS documentaries in here mate, to add to the list:-

^ not just in the Rodney’s Google Spreadsheet - though also in benduwan’s post in the above linked thread too 👍
ZkinandBonez’s YouTube/Vimeo/etc. finds for Original Trilogy making-ofs, documentaries, promos, etc thread is also well worth a read too for seeing if there any more to add your list.

‘For the first cut of Rogue we comped all the backdrops with quick paintings I did. And if we liked it, we passed them on to ILM. Was a cool way to test what worked. Plus you could watch the entire movie and see how it might look in final. #Rogueone #StarWars’
Mexico (Spanish)…
There does not appear to have been an Original Trilogy box set release on home video before 1995 in Mexico - though if anyone knows differently please post up some images and information - thank you.
There is a trilogy, not a box set but all three films released in 1986 on Beta format by VideoVisa
Nice one, thank you for that - and also for the Chile & Argentina release pictures too 👍
Do you know if there were any box set releases from any other South American countries before the 1997 and 2000 Special Edition video releases?
It may be worth looking through some of the custom box sets made on here to see what other members came up with for theirs - as well as the various official releases down the years (both laserdisc and VHS).
There are a few ‘insert’ projects on here too (mainly for ‘chapter times’ etc - though some had additional artwork and project info on them).
Sounds an intriguing project - good luck with it - and please share some images of the box set when it is ready 👍
