Here are my VHS copies of the original Star Wars trilogy, acquired from various thrift stores.
I went through them around Christmastime. This copy of ANH was nice and clean - just the movie. ESB had a two-minute blurb in the beginning about how the whole trilogy was now available on videocassette. ROTJ was preceded by a longass interview between Leonard Maltin and the almighty legendary deity of George Lucas. As the tapes got newer, the fact about it being STAR WARS became a bigger and bigger deal.
I'd like to find copies that are all like ANH, but that could be a challenge.
>that giant yoda
for what purpose

Yeah, I don't get that either. He freaking dies in that movie.

The pleb-ness of this remark cannot be overstated.

i think that was the final release of the unaltered VHS versions before the special editions came out cause i had it in a set.
ANH had a stormtrooper and TESB had vader if i recall correctly. their faces were on the spine too.

My dad had those. I remember because there was once an offer on a box of cereal for a "Making of Star Wars" tape whose box had a similar style and I was obsessed with getting it so it could match the other tapes. We did get it and I don't think I ever watched it.

God damn. They knew how to sell movies back then.

That is correct. I have the laser discs of the original trilogy.
However, if I remember correctly, the "special edition" you're talking about does not have all of the changes that George Lucas made. The films are still the original theatrical releases.

It's almost like that's where the text went or something

Mah nigga. I've got them too, I just no longer have a laser disc player.

This is getting embarrassing to watch

While I do agree that Star Wars should have bombed and never been remembered, that poster is actually pretty nice. It's not honest at all since Luke looks like a fucking alpha hero and Leia is hot as fuck on it but it looks good.

that jedi isnt original. thats the 90s remaster. that was the first one where lucas started fucking with it.
>>64436276
you should just download the despecialized movies. they are the only worthwhile editions of star wars
