Return of the Jedi, DVD, Bootleg, China 2001
On the Return of the Jedi disc, the film itself is in widescreen, without anamorphic enhancement. The audio track is encoded as Dolby Digital 5.1, but is sourced from the Laserdisc's two-channel matrixed PCM soundtrack, so this is not true 5.1 surround sound. The film comes with optional subtitles in English, Chinese, Malay and Indonesian.
The disc starts with the Dolby Digital "Water" trailer before you're taken to the main menu. When pressing "Play movie" you get the THX "Deep Note" intro before the film. The Language menu lets you choose from four sets of subtitles, English, Chinese, Malay and Indonesian. Pressing the DCS (Digital Cinema Surround) logo brings up a minute-long surround sound demo. The Bonus Materials menu only lists an interview with Dennis Muren and three trailers, but the Dennis Muren clip also includes a "Jedi Videomatics" featurette and the Lapti Nek music video. The first Jedi trailer promotes the film by the title "Revenge of the Jedi", and both it and the second trailer show Luke with a blue lightsaber.
A new set of bootleg DVDs for the original Star Wars films started showing up on eBay in 2001. (The files are dated March 2001.) These bootlegs were sourced from the 1993 THX Laserdisc box set from the USA, meaning these were the original theatrical versions of the movies. They also included some of the supplemental material from that Laserdisc set. Still, they were considered inferior and a step backwards compared to the quality of previous bootlegs.
