"HEAR ME BABY, HOLD TOGETHER..."


Han Solo mans the gun turret in one of the great promotional adverts by LUCASFILM/FOX for the then upcoming 1997 box set of the CLASSIC STAR WARS TRILOGY VHS release-with an Executor tin box set released in the UK that, generally, had much better behind the scenes material and accompanying extras than the eventual Blu-rays, which has still not been surpassed.


With thanks to Ian Trussler for the image.

Your information is incorrect. The image is for the 1997 Special Edition, NOT the 2004 DVD's. Domestically, the SE was only available on VHS and LaserDisc. There were no "official" DVD's until 2004, and the "Special Edition" tagline was NEVER used after 1997.
