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.”

Brilliant 👍 - I hope that makes it in as an easter egg (or on ‘The Making Of’).

Nice one, nobodybutjarjar42 👍

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 👍
 

Good question, mate.

There are a whole host of Original Trilogy ‘Making Of’ / BTS documentaries in here to add to your list:-

Guide to Star Wars Documentaries and Special Features

^ not just in the Rodney’s Google Spreadsheet - also check benduwan’s useful info 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 for seeing if there any more for inclusion to your list.
 

There are a host of OT docs up in the ‘Documentaries’ section of An Index & Help Thread for The Expanded Universe as well, but you’ll likely have to ‘IMDB’ them to get the dates they were made / or released.

‘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 👍

‘Hoshino - Star Wars Fan Film’

The blurb: ‘The tale of blind Jedi Master Ko Hoshino and her journey to becoming one with the Force.’
 

I love the tone of the film and emotion of this fan film - and not too much in the way of lightsaber fights either! 👍
 

a ‘Descriptive Audio Version’ is available, here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLODQbKd3CQ

^ in Glasgow. On google streetview - 5 Eastvale Pl, Glasgow G3 8QG (with some decent non-Star Wars art on the other walls too)

Moving this into the ‘Star Wars Preservation’ section to see if there is any interest, ideas, or advice in there.
 

^ Completely up to you mate - personally, maybe posting new artwork in the comments section? (it encourages people to scroll down and read the thread rather than just your OP). Though it is your call to what you think is best.
 

Loving the Boba poster too - and also the tagline again 😃

I only ask that no one read anything I posted before 2005. I was… just super weird and maladjusted.

That’s okay, Oobi-Doo Benubie - we were all a little different back then 😉

Well in on reaching 9000 posts - and for all your contributions on here over the years - and more to come 👍

Another 1000 posts and you’ll be a ‘Jedi Spirit’ in old money / OT rankings!
