What are the others? I mean besides VHS? I was under the impression that the laserdisc rip was the only decent quality release of the original trilogy.
MySpleen has it, I think 60GB for all three. Tough to get in now, though D:
- 2011 Blu-Ray release with fan color correction
- 2006 DVD bonus content from 1993 Laser Disc, upscaled by fans
- 720p HDTV rip of 2004 DVD version
- Digital TV capture of 1997 Special Edition
- Various high-quality film scans and special effects elements
- Team Negative1’s 35mm film scan of Mos Eisley sequence
- 16mm film transfer of original 1977 theatrical release
The sheer amount of work…

As a stand up law abiding citizen I will of course refrain from seeking out these unlicensed materials ;)
Disco Stu likes DiscoVision!
Still have my laserdisc collection. It is just collecting dust. But I do not have the heart to part with them.
