The complete Star Wars trilogy was remastered and restored using LucasFilm's THX
LaserDisc Certification process. All three films are presented in the Standard Play CAV format, offering full
feature access to every frame of the films. Filling out the sixth side of each feature is a batch of supplements,
also in the Standard Play format.
Included in the deluxe box set were the three film housed in their own sleeve, along with 16-page booklet with
production notes and Chapter Stop information. Also included is a hard bound book, George Lucas: The Creative
Impulse, a 208-page chronicle of LucasFilm's first twenty years. The printing in both the booklet and the
book is Japanese. In addition, the commentary tracks are Japanese translations of the original comments made
by the film producers. Where the US set replaced the complete audio on the analog tracks with the
commentary audio, the Japanese edition limits the commentary audio to Channel 2/R and maintains a mono film
soundtrack on 1/L - maintaining audio playback ability on every LaserDisc player ever manufactured. |
