I stumbled across this post online about the flaws/errors/issues with the early pressings of the Star Wars Definitive Box Set. Can anyone confirm if this applied to the Japanese LD set as well? I didn't even know there were issues with them so I will definitely be checking my set. N.B: If anyone else has the Japanese box set, you can loan a copy of the English book out at most libraries (at least I was able to). The Japanese book is exactly the same as the English one in dimensions, pages, everything (except language of course). => https://www.lddb.com/_misc/webarchive.org/starwars-flaws.htm (archived copy)

It's a famous document that somehow seems to fade with time from WebArchive, a few copies around but the archived copy I keep here also referenced in Star Wars Trilogy: Definitive Collection [0693-84]Julien

skyjedi2020 wrote: My copy has laser rot for the Star Wars Definitive Boxed set, the USA release. Not sure if it is the reissued version that is not missing the scene of Leia Welding. But i have the identical Japanese Set with George Lucas the creative Impulse and there is no laser rot. the flaws mentioned are about the missing seconds on the first run as opposed to the second run. And if the USA and Japanese boxes both have the same flaw of missing footage. Your flaw is something different and isn't really about this topic. But please post pictures of your issue, I'm starting to think more and more rot reports could actually be lasers going bad

I literally just checked my Japanese edition. Disc 2 Side 3 of Empire. Sure enough it starts with yer wan doing a bit of welding. Looks perfect.

I can only assume it is a later pressing as it doesn't have the welding flaw? Picture and sound is superb too (to be a real pedant it does look a bit pixelated some times). Absolutely zero rot, flawless picture. The obi strip says PILF-1757 if that helps? Here is a.photo of it from my box set:

forper wrote: I don't care that there are a million obsessive nerds that put the films on pedestal that Zeta hates, I love these movies because I saw and loved them when I was a kid. And I had all the toys and it was just superlative as a kid. Star Wars was better than anythin in the '80s. Yeah that's nostalgia but I don't care, at least I don't feign nostalgia like some 20 year old who thinks the original films are the best. i too became an instant SW nerd on the spot when my folks bought all three movies on CBS/FOX VHS back in the late-80's when i was still around 7/8 years old. i loved the movies so much i watched them as often as my mom would allow. my mom was a Finch Fancier back then. she had a like-minded friend that happened to have a large SW toy collection her kids outgrew lying around, and she offered it to us for like $50. so, there i was, a freshly-minted hardcore SW fanboy, complete with an instant-turn-key well-rounded SW toy collection. i recall that the AT-AT Pilot was my favorite figure back then, and my mom gave me the old MPC/ERTL AT-AT model kit she had put away a few years back, so i picked up the "BLACK SERIES" AT-AT PILOT figure to accompany the finished model; my dad also happened to come across the BANDAI 1/72 INCOM X-WING at a HOBBY LOBBY he was bumming about one day, and ended up picking one up for me;

CAV versions would be three discs, not two. It sounds like you're talking about the pre-THX releases. forper wrote: Would Mint Marks matter? I'd imagine they'd be different and better way to tell apart the corrected and uncorrected copies than the catalogue number. And tasuke, why do you always post the same photos?
