Page 1 of Best site to buy STAR WARS movies on DVD

I may be blind but i can find it on this forum. Where is the best place to buy the original Star Wars movies (ep IV - VI) on DVD? NOT the 5 star collection, but the single edition SE releases, as i hear they are better...

Any help much appreciated....

They aren`t available on DVD buddy! Sorry! Give it about 4 years or so!

Actually, the bootlegs ARE available Ben_F, and they are quite good quality. This was discussed not so long ago here:

I bought the 5 Star Editions and I`m very pleased. The DD 5.1 sound on ANH and ROTJ is great, although as has been stated many times, the 5.1 on TESB is crap but the DD 2.0 is very strong and a good alternative. They are in widescreen (non-anamorphic), and the picture is very good, although it won`t stand up to the official releases.

Edit: I bought them on eBay, I took the risk and it payed off.

I was aware of the bootlegs Chewie, but I think he meant the PROPER films! I think I`d rather wait for them to be honest! lol!

Eh, by him mentioning TWO different versions of bootlegs, I think it shows he KNOWS they are not official.

He was on about the pre-5 Star bootlegs, as owned by me. If there is enough interest I`ll post links cover/disc scans and screen caps for educational purposes. You can find out where to buy them in about 30 seconds using Google.

Oh yeah, just read it again!

Yep, if you could post a few cover/disc scans that would be useful, not sure if my Star Wars copy is the same, so be good to check, as I didn`t think it improved much over the last VHS edition.

Here is a pic of the 5 Star Collection:

These are the same covers my discs have. The quality of picture and sound is massively superior to VHS, especially the widescreen VHS. Widescreen is the ONLY way to watch Star Wars. Pan & Scan robs you of so much.

Right, finally remembered to do these. The quality is crap as I did them in a rush, but you can pick out enough detail to see the differences between versions. They won`t be up indefinitely, so if you want a look be quick!
