The Empire Strikes Back, Laserdisc, "Evergreen" FOX Video Japan, 1991
|
I 1991 the Star Wars trilogy films were re-released on Laserdisc in Japan. These were the so-called "Evergreen" releases, named after the promo for the evergreen Fox films on the the OBI.
The image is presented in cropped "fullscreen" format, with original English PCM digital sound and Japanese permanent subtitles. Empire was spread across 3 sides in the CLV format, but side 3 runs 41 minutes and could therefore not have been encoded in CAV. The films featured the "Fox Video" intro at the beginning of each film instead of the CBS/Fox intro, but Empire and Jedi still have the CBS/Fox logo on the jacket. Japanese laserdiscs command a higher price if they come with their original OBI, a price/information strip that is common on Japanese media but often discarded by the original buyer. |
