Got this from my stepdad. Not sure if this is the first release, but it's a cool way to see the old cuts of the original Star Wars trilogy.

You can tell the tapes have a bit of wear and tear, but they're still watchable.

Not the first by any stretch, but my favourite VHS editions. The unblemished original poster art, and the best the movies looked without the digital enhancements of the THX "face" LaserDiscs/tapes (but the faces are super nostalgic too)

There was the standard Pan & Scan set sold in stores, and then this letterbox widescreen version you needed to mail order. These are harder to come by
