A warm welcome to everyone who has recently joined up on here 😃
It is certainly rare - though I have no idea on the value, sorry mate.
Is this the tape you have: http://www.starwarshomevideo.com/2018/11/star-wars-uk-video-2000-v2000-1983.html ?
This may contain some useful info to you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUo3_sDX-rU (Nathan Butler youtube channel)
The starwarsforum.co.uk - a UK Vintage Star Wars Collecting Forum may be able to give you some clue on the value etc.
There is also the https://forum.rebelscum.com - US-based; yet larger Star Wars collecting forum.
We also have a discussion thread, here - The Original Trilogy on Video 2000 (V2000) (as well as threads for other older formats such as Beta, VHS, CED, VHD, VCD, Laserdiscs, Video8, and Super8, etc).
How is 2021 for you all?
Good, good.
I’ve a feeling it won’t be a good start to the year for certain people in here with a history of derailing this thread… 👍
You? Actually, you may wish to continue a conversation on how 2021 has been for everyone so far in the ‘Culture and Current Events’ section of the site - instead of doing so in here.
Thanks for the heads-up. I’ll remember to post anything not concerning this topic where it belongs. I apologize.
Thanks mate - and have a good 2021 yourself (and also to everyone on here too).

Thought we were talking about MagnoliaFan for a second.
What’s that?

Hey! that was only last week, last month, last year, last decade, 16 years ago - bloody hell!
Wow - you certainly have many, many projects on the go, Charles Threepio. How are the other projects coming along?
Wishing you well with this one 👍
OT Choose Your Own Adventure books: Hopefully you’ll get farther than me on your first read. I got killed by sand people on Tatooine after the very first decision.
One minute they are in single file - the next they are all around you.
Was the second decision to ‘leave Tatooine’ (in a 1980’s DOS style pc game adventure game?) 😉
Quality list of books, Hal.
For me I’d go with…
The Secret History Of Star Wars
Rinzler’s 3 ‘Making Of’ the OT books
Rinzler’s 'Star Wars Storyboard’s (for the OT)
Splinter Of The Mind’s Eye (just so different to what came after, and love ADF’s writing in this)
‘The Art Of’ OT books (pre-1997 editions, of course) 👍
‘The Visual Dictionaries’ of the various Star Wars releases (though I always give these a glance over in the book store beforehand - then wait for them to appear at the seconds stores)
Looking forward to also reading Brian Jones’ ‘George Lucas: A Life’, and Dale Pollock’s ‘Skywalking’ books shortly too.
‘Loki Exec Producer Michael Waldron Tapped To Write Kevin Feige’s ‘Star Wars’ Movie As Part Of New Deal With Disney’:-
‘Sources tell Deadline Waldron has been set to write a new Star Wars feature film that Kevin Feige, President, Marvel Studios and Chief Creative Officer, Marvel, will develop and produce for Lucasfilm and Disney.’
^ only a ‘sources tell us’ type article - though good to see more info (or any info) for this intriguing film…
‘Star Wars Battlefront 2 will be your free game on the Epic Games Store next week’:-
https://www.vg247.com/2021/01/07/star-wars-battlefront-2-free-epic-games-store
'Next week on the Epic Games Store, you will be able to claim Star Wars Battlefront 2: Celebration Edition as your own to keep forever. Free of charge, obviously.
This edition of the game contains the complete collection of customization content acquirable through in-game purchases from launch up to – and including – items inspired by The Rise of Skywalker. In other words, you will get more than two years’ worth of free content updates along with the complete collection of customization content.’
Free stuff? Cool 👍
Edit:
‘Over 19 million people got Star Wars Battlefront 2 during Epic Games Store promo’:-
Good to see so many teams in the chase in England as we approach the half-way stage of the league season (c’mon Liverpool!)
Arsenal and Chelsea are probably under-performing this season (so far; Chelsea have the potential and squad to find some form and their rhythm), with Manchester Utd likely over-performing, and Leicester & Southampton having very good seasons to date. Sheffield Utd just can’t get a win - despite some of the entertaining and incisive footy they played last year.
A few of the big boys around Europe are not having it all their usual own way - especially with Juventus in Italy, and PSG to some extent in France. Barca are struggling, Real are on a good run yet are prone to dropping unexpected points in Spain, whilst Atletico are managing to dog out results as ever! Bayern are still out in front - yet there are a few teams quite close to them…
Some unpredictable results occurring in general (even in Georgia! 😉) - so hopefully it will make for a more interesting end for a leagues this season, and maybe also have an effect for the European Championships in the summer too (with the unfancied sides / underdogs giving the ‘big’ sides a bloody nose) 👍
Bring on the unpredictability and more upsets!
I can’t believe how well planned all of it sounds. I know they’ve been working on it for years, but it sound like they have so much mapped out. There’s a ton of concept art too and it all looks amazing. I’m all in on this.
I fully agree mate; some impressive people involved in this, and have seemingly been given the time and freedom to plan out what they are doing with it. Good to see the official site heavily behind this too:
Star Wars: The High Republic Is Here
and even the official site having a dedicated section to this too - https://www.starwars.com/the-high-republic
Plus, your own Upcoming Star Wars Release Schedule thread on here is pretty useful & helpful resource too 👍

‘Tanya Roberts, Bond girl and Charlie’s Angel, dies at 65’:-
If we combine Adigitalman’s Battle of Coruscant from his Clone Wars edit and Madman’s Knowledge’s ROTS Extended Edition (ROTS + Siege of Mandalore), we would get an ultimate edition.
Adigitalman (2D Clone Wars) + Bobson Dugnett (Deleted Scenes) + Madman’s Knowledge (Siege of Mandalore) = An ultimate edition.
Check out the work of /u/NumeralJoker on reddit. Back in May he made a 4hr30min edit of Revenge of the Sith. Has all the good deleted scenes, plus the entire Siege of Mandalore, plus the Battle of Coruscant from the 2D show. All edited perfectly and available in 1080p/4K. He’s also done 1080p/4K extended edits of TPM, AotC and Solo.
Or also in his own thread on here:-

Cobra Kai (1st season)
Really enjoyed it on a daft and fun level, and a little bit more too. The writing and characters were quite sharp and witty, and seems the showrunners have a genuine love and affection for the original films.
Looking forward to the 2nd season.
Does anyone have the files for samlowry’s covers? I got in touch with him at the weekend but he no longer has them himself. Can anyone help me out? Really love the covers he did and I’m currently burning my own set of despecialized.
IIRC samlowry first posted his covers here on Pge 23 of this thread… it may be worth following the conversations to see which members asked for those covers and then PM them to see if they still a copy?
Good luck with it mate.
hi there.
wich are the right covers for the njvc trilogy. the trilogy on the 2disc set.
i hope someone can help me out
The main Star Wars Despecialized Editions - Custom Bluray Set (Released) thread itself likely has some covers mate.
Rikter also has some covers for the njvc set on the 1st page of this section of the forum. Rik is also kind of a ‘cover guru’ on here - and is one of the most kind, generous and helpful people around - so it may be worth asking him if he knows of any too.
There should also be some mention of njvc covers in the An Index & Help Thread for Case Covers, Disc Labels, and Fan Art… thread. Some of the regular Harmy Depsecialized covers may also be an option too?
This raised a hearty chuckle - could be a new BTS / documentary style new series following the events of people in the GFFA who suffered from ‘midichlorian dysfunction’ 😉
