The U.S. home video market also slumped during the same period. After hitting a high of $25.2 billion in 2005, by the end of 2008, total sales of DVDs, Blu-Rays, on-demand video and digital had fallen 28% to $17.9 billion.
This page describes the significant home video releases of official Star Wars films, television shows, and documentaries, excluding releases which did not come directly from Lucasfilm (such as Star Wars Tech or spoof programs like Robot Chicken: Star Wars).
The very first home video release of any Star Wars film came in May 1982 when 20th Century Fox Video released Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope on VHS, Betamax, LaserDisc, CED VideoDisc, and V2000 tape cassettes.
A new box set was released on VHS and LaserDisc on June 16, 1995. It would be the last time that the original versions of the Classic Trilogy were released on both formats, digitally mastered in THX. The widescreen LaserDisc is derived from the transfer used on the 1993 Definitive Collection set. The sole special feature is a three-part interview about the trilogy with George Lucas, conducted by Leonard Maltin. These releases in the U.S. also were the first in home video history to use the 1995 domestic 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment logo, and feature it without the fade-out.
The original unaltered versions of the original trilogy were officially made available to fans on DVD on September 12, 2006.[4] Each of the films in this release was presented on two DVDs, with the 2004 re-mastered versions present on the first DVD and the original versions, taken from the 1993 LaserDisc editions, available as "bonuses" on the second DVD. The second DVD presents each movie in what Lucasfilm claimed to be the original theatrical form. In reality, the films were essentially the 1993 LaserDisc masters (which had numerous visual and audio differences from the 1977 theatrical cuts) with the "Episode IV" subtitle removed and the updated star field replaced with the original one. Many sound and visual effects shots created for pre-1993 home video releases are still present in this version.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars was released on home video on November 11, 2008, as a single-disc DVD, a two-disc Special Edition DVD, and a two-disc Blu-ray.[6] Both DVD versions include the widescreen film with Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround EX sound, and the audio commentary by director Dave Filoni, producer Catherine Winder, writer Henry Gilroy, and editor Jason Tucker.
The first home video release of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens. It was released digitally on April 1, 2016, with physical media following on April 5. The collection includes deleted scenes and making-of documentaries such as Secrets of The Force Awakens: A Cinematic Journey. Different retailers had separate versions, such as a steelbook collection or additional extras.
A 3D Collector's Edition of The Force Awakens was released on November 15, 2016 in the US and Canada. It includes the bonus features from the original home video release of the film, as well as new content.[23]
It was the one of the first video formats to contain tape inside the cassette as opposed to exposed tape on a reel-to-reel. It found its home in professional production and broadcast. The first rough cut of Apocalypse Now, for example, was recorded to 3 U-Matic cassettes.
1977 saw the introduction of the Star Wars series to massive success. It was also the year that Magnetic Video, a home video duplication service, started releasing theatrical movies onto Betamax and VHS for consumer purchase.
This series was made available as a Made on Demand DVR via the MTV website with no special features added, other than an uncensored version of the series. Another avenue to watch the series is at the MTV home page for Death Valley.
