Star Wars VHS, DVD, and Blu-Ray purchases

Let's see, currently I have the original VHS release of the OT (displayed on top of my movie shelf ATM), somewhere in the basement I have the P&S version of the 97 Special Editions, a...perfectly legal Blu-Ray version of the theatrical versions of the OT, and the 2011 individual release of the PT. In the past, I had the individual DVD versions of the PT but have since sold them off.

 

I had the following over the years

OT SE on VHS (no longer have)
Episode 1 & 2 on VHS (no longer have)
Episode 3 on DVD (no longer have)
OT - DVD, Wide screen, first run (no longer have)
Episode 1 & 2 on DVD (no longer have)
Episode 7 on Bluray (sold it for...)

Currently own,
Episode 1 - 6 on Bluray Boxset (I believe the first gen, that has the tan colored box, 2011?)
Episode 7 on Bluray 3D edition
Rogue One on Bluray
Episode 8 on 4k Bluray
Solo on 4k Bluray

I may hold off on Episode 9 when it comes out. I'm going to wait and see what they are going to do with the 4k version of movies and get Episode 9 during that time frame if they officially re-release the previous movies in 4k.

 

I have the remastered version on VHS released in 1995. This was my first copy of the OT. My father bought it to me when I was 10.

I also bought, years later, the Special Edition box for the OT:

Then I bought the VHS of TPM:

Then I also bought another version of the OT in vhs, I think this one was released in 2000:


- I bought the DVD's of TPM, AOTC and ROTS. The original versions, not the modified ones.

- Bought also a version of the OT in the DVD, the one that comes with the theatrical release (very poor quality) and the modified version...Bought this movies to see the original trilogy, the ones with modifications I don't like and the addition of Hayden in the end of ROTJ I can't stand.


- And from the last movies I have the DVD of Rogue One, Bluerays of TFA and TLJ.

 

Having always been poor, I don't possess too many copies:
--OT, early 90s VHS (I assume this is [close to] the theatrical version, although I haven't watch these in over 20 years)

--OT, 97 (?) Special Edition VHS

--OT, early 00s DVD set (the black & silver one with a bonus disc)

--PT, individual double-disc DVDs

--TFA on 3 disc ("exclusive") box with DVD, 4k, and Blu-ray

--TLJ on individual, double-disc Blu-ray

............

--RO & S:ASWS on Blu-ray

--SW:Rebels on DVD

--The Mandalorian in pirate form

............

--Do not own CW (except the CW film om DVD) or Resistance

Edit: LOL! I forgot to add my PT DVDs earlier

 

Here is my collection, Betamax, VHS, DVD, Bluray and 4K.

 

Love those old VHS cases so much. If they released throwback blu-rays with the same box art, I might have to buy the movies again just to have it.

 

Whata bout these copies? Theatrical version on bluray???

 

These are 4k versions of the original theatrical version that I bought on ebay, ANH is 4K77 and ROTJ is 4K83. They just came in Bluray cases.

TESB (4K80) is still currently being developed.

 

That's nice. Good to know about these copies.

 

Now that’s commitment. My Star Wars collection doesn’t look nearly as impressive:

 

Hope you create backups. Shame if the HDD fails..lol

 

I do replace my HDDs from time to time. But, around here, you only really need to remember what you had. Re-downloading everything is much easier than to actually find a DVD or a Blu-Ray. Heck, I don't even have anything that plays disks at home. When I found some old CDs, I had to go looking for places to run them, lol.

 

It doesn’t take that much effort to preserve data. Just replace your data carriers from time to time and convert older formats into newer ones. It’s just something we need to be aware of.
