LOT 250 - Star Wars Trilogy THX Mastered VHS Boxed Set, 1995
Description

This lot features the complete original Star Wars Trilogy on VHS in its special THX Mastered boxed set, released by 20th Century Fox and Lucasfilm in 1995. This collector's edition contains all three films of the original trilogy: "Star Wars: A New Hope" (1977), "The Empire Strikes Back" (1980), and "Return of the Jedi" (1983). The set is encased in its original commemorative packaging featuring Darth Vader's iconic helmet design prominently displayed on multiple sides. This release is particularly significant as it represents the original theatrical versions with enhanced THX sound and picture quality before the later Special Edition alterations. The packaging includes a personal message from creator George Lucas printed on the back, expressing his satisfaction with this definitive home video release and its technical presentation. The THX Digital Mastering process provided what was considered the highest quality home viewing experience available at the time of release.

Condition Notes:

The boxed set displays moderate wear consistent with age and storage, including corner bumping and edge wear most noticeable on the top and spine. Some white scuff marks are visible on the black background, and minor peeling appears on the top corner where a price sticker was likely removed. The text and imagery remain clear and vibrant throughout. The condition of the actual VHS tapes cannot be assessed from the exterior photos. The packaging retains its original glossy finish with minimal fading. George Lucas's message on the back remains fully legible. Refer to the pictures and in person inspection for condition.
