Star Wars, Betamax, Sell-through tape, CBS/Fox Video USA, 1984

1984 re-release in a "normal" cardboard box, discarding the overly complicated "drawer" design. Before the film, the CBS/Fox logo plays, and then goes straight into the film. There are no trailers before or after the film of any kind, and the FBI warning comes after the end credits. Note that this cover now states "Hi-Fi Stereo" for the first time. This release includes the CBS/Fox Video intro, so the video master is nearly identical to the CBS/Fox re-release from 1983, but the watermark protruding from the upper left corner now says "FOXVID 3", not "FOXVID 7". (See detail to the right, click image to enlarge). This would not have been visible back in the day, with the excessive overscan on old tube TVs. The cardboard box used here was also used for the 1986 and 1987 pressings, therefore you can only tell the difference by playing the actual tape. If you have a sealed copy, there is no way of telling which version you have without breaking the seal. The label on the cassette is the same as the 1983 drawer release. The Beta designation on the sides are a sticker, and it is missing on one of the sides revealing the VHS logo underneath. Note that even though the case carries the product number "1130", the actual Beta tape label specifies "1130-20".
