 everybody always says that the original theatrical version of Star Wars was never released on DVD and I don't know why people keep saying that because it's not true I I have the thing right here in the 97 or 98 when the special editions were in theaters these showed up on store shelves I don't remember where I got these sets they were just on the store shelf somewhere but they weren't heavily advertised nobody talked about them I just happened to find it and it says it right here includes the digitally remastered movie plus the original theatrical version plus a bonus graphic novel here it is again on the bonus disc original theatrical version presented in widescreen it came with a dark horse graphic novel that reprinted the first six issues of the Marvel Comics and then there's this DVD two discs there's the digitally remastered from 97 and then there's this it says a new hope bonus disc and that's it let me put these on the TV and I'll show you see here's the digital modern version with the fancy Lucasfilm logo here's the modern version that says episode 4 a new hope blah blah blah the plain old Lucasfilm letters it looks really primitive doesn't it see that no episode 4 no new hope this is how we originally saw it when the movie was re-released just before Empire Strikes Back it was either the year before or that summer or whatever the movie started and it said episode 4 new hope and we all look at each other and we're like what the hell so the original is available on DVD I don't know why people keep saying it isn't look for this set you can support 30 second sci-fi and my other projects by becoming a patron there's a link in the description below and visit the 30 second sci-fi tumblr that's my headquarters in addition to my videos I publish links and updates there every day
