the "limited edition" theatrical version dvd's of Star Wars have arrived here in SA at last. sort of.
for some mysterious reason, only 2 of the three were available to order, they being
Star Wars (A New Hope) and Return Of The Jedi :
i figured that i might aswell order them in the mean time, and get the missing one,
The Empire Strikes Back, as and when it arrived for purchase.
imagine my surprise, then, when these two arrived instead :
now obviously i want all 3, but it is somewhat bewildering that they one my website of choice said was unavailable managed to turn up!!
ho hum, i am sure i will pick up the missing one soon!
as for my initial reaction to the sets, they are what i expected, which is to say threadbare. i do not think they wanted to release the "original" versions at all, and their begruding agreement to do so for the funds it will bring in is emphatically illustrated by the lack of any different extras.
buy them if, like me, you appreciate the novelty factor of having all the different versions of films available. otherwise, stick with the 'Special Edition' box set - at least you know you will have all three films!!!
be excellent to each other!!
