Got the Star Wars VCD set from Ringos a few days ago and am happy enough with it. I can't find the Episode II Sneak Peek documentary though. There's a sticker on the box that says it's there and I read a review that mentioned it but I can't find it.

Probably me just being dumb but does anyone know where to find it?

I think RDJ was talking about the VCD boxset, not the Ep.1 DVD...

You need to put in A new hope disc 1 into your player. It is before the film IIRC there are 2 tracks before the film, some Aussie/Fox ad & the interview with George . Hope this helps :D

Quality is pretty dodgy. They're normally refered to as better tha the VHS but I'm not so sure. They've a LOT of artifacting on them and the colours are not particularly pure. Sound isn't bad but is still only a dubious prologic track (and seems rather harsh).

Only £25 for the set though.

My main reason for getting them is that they wont degrade over multiple viewings and that I can watch them on my computer while working, and for this they do their jobs.

I think it's a crime that they aren't available on DVD. How can Lucas justify that wants to wait all this time when he releases them all over and over again on VHS, VCD and Laserdisc. He makes me halfway tempted to pick up the bootleg DVDs. Not sure what the quality is like compared to the VCDs though.

Just to clarify, I'm normally against bootlegs and would rather buy official product but I feel that Lucas is pushing me that way.
