  • And yes I am kidding.

  • Ah, when they sucked.

  • how many other people can still hear those words EXACTLY as they were said in the promo?

    "One last time"

  • This video epitomizes Star Wars to me. No special editions, no prequels, just the originals.

  • It's unbelievable how much voice work Jim Cummings does! (I believe he's the one narrating this commercial)

  • they should put the original trilogy back in theaters just to get the younger generation to watch it :) idc i would go see it in theaters. i've only seen it on my tv i wish i was there too see them in theaters

  • "This will be your last chance to own the original version of Star Wars."

    *Realizes that the original films still haven't gotten a good DVD release.*

    Man they weren't kidding. 

  • man, i got the box set as a kid too.. i remember these ads. never in my wildest dreams could i have imagined the words "this will be your last chance to own the ORIGINAL VERSION of star wars" meant anything but them just not releasing the trilogy again. never in my most horrible nightmares could i have known those words really meant "GEORGE LUCAS, RIGHT NOW, IS FUCKING CREAMING HIS JEANS WITH ALL THE NEAT CGI EFFECTS HE CAN THROW INTO THESE CLASSICS SO HE CAN FUCK THEM UP PERFECTLY"

  • @bijibadness The special editions rock!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Has anyone found another promo that came out around this time, it featured a split screen comparison before and after the THX mastering.

    I also am interested in seeing the tv commercial for the 2006 individual dvd release. A guy was just talking about the movies from his house plus the quick montage of the original version clips.

  • I've been looking for this one forever! thanks for uploading!

  • The Original Star Wars Trilogy on Home Video.

    Okay, then in 1997 The Special Edition comes in theaters then Home Video again.

  • I've got ANH on VHS, and I always loved this Ad!!! This was from a time when the SW Original Trilogy was still close to its' peak of popularity.

  • shut up bitch, george lucas's films rock, anyway saying this sucks is like saying indeana jones sucks!

  • amm what can i say !!

    i sorry about you :(

  • @trpdng wELL PERSONALY i DON`T LIKE iNDIANA jOBNES BUT i LOVE ALL SIX Star Wars!!!!!!

  • I think the logic is that it was "One Last Time" for VHS.

  • Actually I believe the "One Last Time" quote has something to do with the original theatrical cuts themselves. Or else not only would I have doubt that there would've been a VHS set like this released, but the original versions would've been released on DVD and maybe remastered in high-def and 5.1 surround when they first came to DVD nearly 3 years ago.

  • Uh pardon for for a sentence correction, but what I meant about what I told you about the "One Last Time" line, was that if not for this VHS release, I figured that the individual DVD releases of the films with the original versions would've been remastered in high-def and 5.1 surround which they did not but SHOULD have gotten back then. But that's just my opinion of course.

  • I agree with you.

  • Ha ha.I remember these adds on the VHS ones.

  • My THX VHS trilogy took a beating from about 10,000 viewings.

  • Do you Star Wars tapes still work ?

  • I have the original tapes from the '95 release. They all still work but I haven't watched them on VHS in ages!

  • Jesus! This trailer was the first time I ever saw Star Wars! I got it for my birthday, it came with the Empire Strikes Back VHS... One year later the Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition was announced, and I became a fan!!

    Thank you so mucho for posting this!

    "The force is forever, for all generations"

  • God! I've ben looking for this FOREVER!

    Thank you for posting!! Best Star Wars Ad ever!

    Sorry, I just havn't seen this in ten years...

  • @SuperLuigiSixty4 You haven't seen this commercial since 1999???

  • Thank you so much. I have been looking for this for ever!  I have the original unaltered Star Wars trilogy on VHS. Does anyone know how I can get this unaltered version on DVD?

  • @johncheever123 yes here you go. It includes the 2004 dvd version, and the original unaltered version as it played in theaters in 1977.

  • @johncheever123 The unaltered versions have never been released on DVD

  • @TAG037 The individual movies in 2006 and the slim boxset from 2008 have both the 2004 transfer and the original theatrical version. They used the exact same 1993 THX video master that the "One Last Time" release featured. The dvd's are still much clearer than any vhs or laserdisc capture.

    Unfortunately, all those dvd's are out of print due to the upcoming blu-ray which will NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL VERSIONS.

  • For those who remember, for those who will never forget, and for a whole new generation who will experience it for the very first time... The Star Wars Trilogy!!!!!

  • Muwhahaha, I'm content with the original three I have. I am only missing one movie of the six star wars. The original's can't be beaten tho

  • I Own The Orignal (NOT THE SE) Widescreen Versions Of Empire and New Hope on VHS I'm Still Looking for the Original Widescreen Version of Return Of The Jedi

  • Why bother looking for widescreen videos when you can now get the new limited edition DVDs?

  • I agree with Cassie, the originals really are the best. THE best films ever especially The Empire Strikes Back!

  • Nothing beats the originals!! :-)
