The definitive guide to U.S. Star Wars home video releases has returned!
After dipping its toes into the home viewing market with Super 8 reels and crank-fed film reels for children, the original Star Wars film reached home video in the United States in 1982, five years after its theatrical premiere. Over the next 15 years, the Original Trilogy would be released, reissued, and refined on home video before George Lucas returned to revamp his films as the Special Editions in 1997. With the Prequel Trilogy taking the lead, the saga would premiere on DVD, then Episodes I - VI would finally jump to HD on Blu-ray and digital platforms. Join author Nathan P. Butler on a guided tour of the live action, theatrical films on U.S. home video prior to the Disney era (1977 - 2015).
With over 1,500 full-color images (nearly 600 in this volume alone), all taken by the author using his extensive Star Wars home video library, this three-volume narrative history of Star Wars home video releases in the United States, by a fan for fans, is an invaluable resource for collectors.
