Sorrowfully, I wound up selling my original VHS Star Wars trilogy, eps 4,5,6 some years ago at a tag sale since I had purchased the "special edition" ones. Boy, was I sorry. They were cleaned up some, but too much different material, CG I didn't like, edits, some different faces.

Seems originals, like we saw in a theater became hard to find over the years, and hit or miss ruled if you were searching. I got stuck a few times...hazy claims aplenty.

BUT, I recently ordered a duo set from Amazon, which I didn't see earlier, with...they say....2 sets, original, and spec ed in dvd form...but not BD for now. Some user comments on Amazon indicate unsureness if originals will be in BD down the road. Anyhow, the Amaazon duo was low cost. Will inform you later. Just giving you this heads up if you're interested now. Hope originals are indeed included.

FYI, re above post about Star Wars, the pack (less than $25 at Amazon)contains 6 discs. It contains 2 sets of the trilogy, one, happily, the original versions we saw yesteryear in theaters (eps 4,5,6) called BONUS discs, and another set of three...the so called special edition versions. A good buy if you're interested, and pix/sound seem decent enough, though originals a tad short in bass and volume, but still ok to me. Just adjust your equip controls to suit. There's enough excitement to enjoy. They are not BD, just reg DVD, and lots of bonus "stuff" included, even on the so called bonus discs which have the orig version movies. The movies are closed captioned. If you get 'em, enjoy. I just finished watching orig version ep 4, and felt like 30 years younger! Remember, these are NOT prequels. They are: Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi, in two versions. Maybe keep one, give other to a friend, or keep to compare them...they are, after all, classics.
