Star Wars, Laserdisc, Fox Video, Japan 1994
|
Part of the Star Wars Trilogy Definitive collection box set from Japan.
The presentation and contents of this disc mirrors the US box set released the year before. Star Wars is presented in widescreen, with original English sound and Japanese subtitles. The audio mix does not contain C-3PO's "tractor beam" line. The films are spread across three discs, all in the CAV format, enabling flawless still frames and slow-motion advance. The end of side 5, and the entire side 6 contain the bonus material, including regular interviews and featurettes, as well as still-frame galleries. The supplemental material is not subtitled. This release marks the first time the Star Wars films were released with audio commentaries, although the comments are only intermittent. After the Fox Video intro, both Empire and Jedi start with the CBS/Fox Video Special Widescreen Edition intro. The first Star Wars does not have this intro at the start, obviously due to the distribution rights being different on that particular film in 1994. The jackets have a glossy finish, which makes them a pain to handle if you want to avoid fingerprints. The covers from this set are sadly very generic. Even though they were never meant for individual sale, the designers could have come up with something a little more enticing. Sometimes, boxsets are split up and the contents sold off separately, but I have never seen any of these discs being sold on their own, even on the second hand market. |
