[@plasticquiche6726]

Hey Junko, I grew up watching Revenge of the Sith on a VHS tape, a relative recorded the movie’s TV world premiere on Spike TV. I thought it was thrown away, but when I was testing out a VCR hooked up to capture card, I popped in a random tape and there it was. Even had a bunch of early 2000 ads including Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core for PSP. Edit: Keep eye out for Prequel Meme cut and Ad break cut

[@marveler8994]

Seeing this on vhs helped me realize why people thought early 2000s cgi looked pretty realistic back then

[@purplesabbath9057]

Yep, the low resolution of VHS hides a lot the limitations of cgi

[@LordBackuro]

Actually a lot of old non digital media hides cgi extremely well especially in the era when Film was still a common way to film stuff. It also depends on the cinematography and production really. Lower resolution + the grain and texture really ads to the aesthetics of a movie like that. Men in black had a similar effect but instead of realism it was the styalized and goofy in nature cgi and practical effects + older pre 2010’s styles of cinematography that helped it not look shit and low budget.

[@Vespyr_]

CRT scan lines help remove aliasing and adds texture to flat surfaces on 3D objects making them look thicker and more tactile to the eye as light is cast between them.

[@bigbrownhouse6999]

Same with video games’ graphics. I thought KOTOR on Xbox was amazing because I was playing it on an old fuzzy TV.

[@ozmond]

No, it was still bad back then

[@solidice5660]

Videos like this are important. It's Easy to forget how influential the format was, and how much we take current technology for granted. Before you know it, we'll be looking back on digital media the same way.

[@FormalGibble]

While not having the whole saga on VHS over here in the US is a little disappointing you can't deny that the DVD release was badass. The amount of bonus features on disc 2 is staggering. Deleted scenes, an Anakin featurette, a 15 part web documentary, John Williams battle of heroes music video, 15 tv ads and pictures of all the posters for the movie from around the world, a production photo gallery, battlefront 2 demo and trailers, and oh yeah a full length documentary that shows off everything that went into episode 3 in one minute long segments! I love VHS but there's just some things it couldn't hope to do. Now if only more movies got that kind of treatment for their DVD release.

[@GanzoHasashi1911]

These are the exact reasons why physical media should be saved as much as possible because it only means those special features risk becoming lost media. I remember watching the behind the scenes as a young kid and just being amazed by all the work that went into making an amazing film. It’s things like those that really show the magic behind film and nurture young minds that want to pursue the medium to make art of their own.

[@CappnRob]

The PT on DVD along with LotR were the go-to examples of DVD being used to their fullest as premiere video formats. The bonus features and the presentation of them were amazing. Its depressing how much this element of home video has regressed since the DVD peak of the 2000s.

[@Hobojoe4464]

​@@CappnRobeven modern ones you get a few 3 - 6 minute featurettes and blooper reels, when before you sometimes got 15 -30 minute mini documentaries of the making of and behind the scenes, and even footage of the films premiere night. We at least have stuff like Criterion releases that keep thise kinds of things alive.

My personal Star Wars collection is a mix of formats. VHS original trilogy for the theatrical cuts, DVD for Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, and Force Awakens. VHS again for Phantom Menace, and Blu Ray for Last Jedi and Rogue One. Missing Solo and TROS. But yeah, I find symbolically spanning format eras with my Star Wars movies to be kinda fun

[@CrashFan03]

@@blueblurz9498 also with vhs the transition was a lot faster because dvds were slimmer and the quality difference was big enough for the regular consumer to notice. meanwhile i don't think most consumers care enough about the quality difference to upgrade (a lot of tv networks are still in standard definition for example). i think blu-ray's main place is for people who wanna watch their movies with a higher fidelity for like home theaters and such

[@trevortuominen8233]

VHS even lasted to the 2010s, in fact (last movie released on VHS was Inception in December that year, only in South Korea).

[@doclouis4236]

The last VHS tape I remembered buying was Bionicle 2 Legends of Metru Nui. After that, the format was completely gone from around 2007 moving forward. Now it seems like all physical media is slowly being phased out in light of streaming. Sometimes I think technology is advancing too rapidly and we aren't allowed to have some stuff around for a while longer before it becomes obsolete. But I guess that has more to do with environmentalism and reducing the already huge amount of waste we produce.

[@UnknownName5050]

It has to do with studios being able to charge for content instead of having you own it. That’s it.

[@brianthomas8411]

It's not just the studios that benefit. The average person doesn't care to own or collect or preserve old mediums. They won't completely go away for a long while (if ever) but the average person likes the convenience of clicking a button and watching whatever right away.

[@tiberiuscodius5828]

What a fantastic movie to be your last VHS though. That's probably my most watched VHS of all time

[@novelezra]

For some reason seeing VHS footage of movies from this era really reminds me of old bootleg cinema-shot films.

[@IvanKinkle]

You do know that a lot of ROTS isn't CGi like so many people claim. Yes, it has a lot, but it also features a ton of practical set pieces, practical effects, and even location shooting. Mustafar is predominantly miniatures and prop pieces enhanced with CGi. Even shot of the volcano eruptions are of Mt. Etna in Italy.

[@RatzaChewy]

It was still shot digitally at 1920x1200 on relatively small sets with a lot of blue/green screens for compositing. Even the stuff that isn't CG has an unnatural feel because of those limitations.

[@nickthepick8043]

Congratz on completing it, man! As a kid, I just assumed my Dad went straight to DVD and VHS died out eventually. I never knew that RoTS wasn't in full VHS release. I learned something new today!

[@TheAceOfCubs]

Yep, it’s true. We originally were going to buy Revenge of the Sith on VHS until we discovered it was only out on DVD (we live in USA). We had the other 5 Star Wars episodes on VHS and wanted to complete it lol

[@YouTubeIsntTwitterKnockitoff]

I KNEW IT'D BE A KOREAN RELEASE! Just recently I was looking into the Saw franchise and the first two were officially released on VHS. With Saw II actually being, from what most people can tell, the last big Hollywood horror movie officially released for VCRs. But, upon looking into the later films, I had discovered that most of the series (even into the later half of the 2000's) were put out onto tapes through a (South) Korean film localization studio. It's so cool that RoTS is also 'technically' on VHS, too! Man, I'm not enthused by much these days - - but VHS and VCRs will NEVER get old to me! There's an authenticity to their quality that just can't be matched by clearer image or higher fidelity sound.

[@andrewburgemeister6684]

Amazingly there’s also a Korean VHS release of The Dark Knight which is wild given nearly everywhere else the format was dead, buried and cremated. Batman Begins got a limited official VHS release in 2005 (which I was amazed finding out) which was probably among the last of the official VHS releases.

[@NeverSaySandwich1]

Getting to experience this timeless classic in a whole new way is very exciting. I associate the downfall of VHS with RotS's home release as well

[@tveye363]

This is goddamn amazing. You gotta wonder when even today, when people can STILL spot CGI no matter how good it is, movie studios refuse to go back to practical effects. FUN FACT: I don't know if you're familiar with Retroarch, but there are shader setting that you can apply to your games to make it look like it's being played through a VCR. You can also play video files with that shader on through its built in media player. It's pretty fun to experiment in. Like, watching modern Simpsons through a fuzzy composite connection.

[@McShmoodle]

You can pull a pristine copy of the Dark Crystal with not a lick of CGI in sight, press play...and immediately say "that's not real, that's a puppet!" Practical effects aren't inherently more realistic. They have a different texture to them, they have their own strengths, but they have their own limitations as well. The only reason why practical effects have such a halo effect around them in people's minds is because they aren't as common as they were before. The same reason why people will insist that vinyl sounds better than digital or that videogames were more charming with less polygons. Nostalgia and scarcity. The reason why CGI is used so much today comes down to logistics and cost effectiveness. This is neither good nor bad, it is simply a cost benefit analysis.

[@thekotabear3262]

@@McShmoodle Terrible take. All Quiet on the Western Front, Akira Kurosawa's Ran, Alien, The Thing, Blade Runner. Gigantic, impressive set pieces, effects and shots all done manually with no CGI in site and they still hold up 100% today. Hell, even Galaxy of Terror which was a low budget movie since you want to use one as an example (and came out years before Dark Crystal) , had impressive practical effects for 1979

[@nicolasgarant9124]

​​@@thekotabear3262 That doesn't really change the fact it isn't as cost effective as it used to be right ? Like, now you need to actually go out of your way to do more practical. They go with the most simple and less time consuming approach, like that's just business. Not really a question of what's better or worse. Because when there's still plenty of movies that uses practical effects, when the option is what they feel is the right one they'll do it.

[@adultmoshifan87]

The first home release here in Britain that made me feel VHS was finally dying was A Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy. To my knowledge, it was released on DVD and UMD over here but not VHS! However, the first movie I know of to be released on DVD over here but not VHS, believe it or not, was Titanic: The Legend Goes On! (Yes, the one with the rapping dog!) The last VHS of anything us Brits ever got? Wallace & Gromit: Curse of The Were Rabbit! (Which I think was a good note to end on!)

[@dogmendogmen]

It's okay, because the show IS on VHS, which is only one between the two that is worth watching.

[@andrewburgemeister6684]

Revenge of The Sith I heard did get a UK VHS release, might not have been widespread though? Also amazingly I discovered Batman Begins which also came out in 2005 got a VHS release as well which I wasn’t even aware of, but yeah it was a very limited run since VHS was going out the door by that point.

[@ceruleanblu3184]

Blurry, blippy, pan n scan VHS on a square CRT screen was how I first experienced Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back, so there was always a certain archaic charm in seeing the trilogy that way. It’d be interesting to watch Revenge of the Sith’s VFX un-hi-def, and widescreen chopped on the sides.

[@bcj842]

It's crazy that VHS is making a comeback. I get vinyl but not so much VHS. I love that there are hobbyists for this format but I'm not one of them. This reminds me I need to see if I still have my old DragonBall Z tapes. I can send them to an online friend who collects VHS.

[@ilovemonkeyos]

It is absolutely criminal we did not get Episode 3 on VHS here in the States.

[@evil1st]

Yea, Episode 4 might be the holy grail, but Episode 2 or 3 on VHS is like the best experience of Star Wars. The visuals and vibe of the story are drastically changed by just changing to an older format.

[@altimagedesignperth340]

I’m 99% sure when I was working at a thrift shop a few years ago we had a copy of revenge of the sith on VHS come in one day. It sat on our shelves for weeks and finally sold it somebody for like $10-$20 (because collectibility and all that, this thrift shop more or less acted as a pawn shop except we got everything for free). I’d imagine it would have been an Australian or UK version. If it wasn’t revenge of the sith, it definitely was one of the prequels but i remember telling somebody to give it a quick search because I thought it was odd to see III on VHS, I thought it was a rarity within itself. Edit: I distinctly remember telling somebody to look it up because it came in with some of the original non-remastered Star Wars VHS tapes, whoever got rid of it was definitely a hardcore or longtime collector… More than likely the guy was likely old and died and his family donated.

[@theprofesser9797]

It’s actually relieving to see an official release after making an “ultimate cut” that has Clone wars (both versions), rebels and Video games scenes i spliced together (4.5 hours long btw) to make for my VHS collection. Now if only I can learn how to import wall-e it’ll finally be complete

@@finchborat I miss recording from TV broadcasts. I was recording up until the end. I have several tapes of Christmas specials recorded in the late 80-s and early 90s, and they still play. One had plenty of space at the end because of the EP mode, so in late 2013 I recorded Animaniacs Christmas episodes. That was the last VHS recording I ever did. The next year, some channel started playing MST3K, and I was so upset that I could no longer record. At least those are on disc; I have a bunch of Whose Line recorded on tape that were never put on DVD. I still have a few blank tapes. A friend says I should be able to record from DVD/bluray to VHS with some cables, so I thought of doing that for fun to make a Halloween specials tape, as well as putting all three Back to the Future movies on one tape with the overlapping scenes cut out so it will play like one long movie. Since EP mode lasts six hours, all three should fit no problem.

I miss having a full collection, and the clunky little sounds my VCR would make that are burned into my brain. As you mentioned, there is a rough quality that we have moved away from in the HD era, which we try to emulate with found-footage movies and some retro video games that have CRT filters. Part of me misses watching a big budget blockbuster on a 4:3 CRT television (that has a fuzzy static when you get near the screen) and popping in a VHS and having to sit for 5 minutes while the whole thing rewinds to the beginning because you forgot to do that last time you watched the movie. I’m pretty passionate about collecting and preserving physical media, and this video is niche and cool and I love it!

I have Episode II on VHS and I actually like watching it on that format as it hides the clean and sterile looking CGI of the movie. I guess the same goes for this one. Revenge of the Sith was also one of the first movies I ever watched on DVD. I didn't see it in the theaters but I did see it on a large cinematic TV in my mom's friend's basement later in 2005 shortly after it came out on DVD.

Here in Brazil it was released in Ntsc VHS too, and it's extremely rare to find.

I’m glad I’m not the only one out there who loves VHS releases of movies that 100% don’t belong on that format

How does YungJunko sound like Voice actor Scott McNeil/Silverbolt from Beast Wars ? 🤔

At home in Russia in 2005, I was also waiting for the release of this film on vhs, but I had to buy a new dvd-pleer for this.

2:27 And the amazing thing is DVD is still relevant.

I'm a simple man, y'know? I see a YungJunko video, and I watch it.

I can't believe Wall-E was on VHS!

[@andrewburgemeister6684]

Yeah must have been a very very late and limited release!!! The Dark Knight and Inception also got a very very rare limited VHS release in South Korea.

Growing up we had the whole saga on VHS except Episode 3 on DVD, I didn’t know that was because it never released in VHS, I thought it was just because my family got a DVD player lololol
