I had this set. They kept saying that that was the last release ever so you better get them.

Last release before they added all the ~~children~~ CGI stuff.

This was the last version without blinking Ewoks, or Greedo firing his blaster, if I recall correctly.

Actually, the laser disc releases are the original cuts, and AFAIK are the highest definition versions available of the original trilogy that aren't altered.

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 4 points 6 months ago

True. But those can't make a satisfying ka-thunk sound when rewound. So there's a tradeoff to consider.

Before the dark times. Before the remaster.

These are the ones I grew up on. Had them until my garage burned down with all of our VHS inside of it sometime during the 00s.

When slave Leia falls down the pit, her bewb pops out! You can see it if you frame-by-frame.

[–] Lorindol@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Not Leia, it's the slave dance girl with the tentacles on her head.

Was it? It’s been so long since I’ve seen it hahaha

I received this for Xmas that year.

Separately, it should have been Vader, Yoda, Emperor.

Me too. Along with all my Godzilla tapes. I have digital copies of all of them now but looking at them makes me happy.

Nothing wrong with a little nostalgia
