VHS Opening: Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999, Bootleg) · 2:01pm Dec 19th, 2016

To celebrate the success of STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE, we thought we'd like to upload the really trippy opening of a bootleg of STAR WARS EPISODE I, the opening to which (above) was posted by Buger Sirmon. There are a LOT of points I've got to make about this. They consist of the following:

A) Apparently the bootlegger made a dupe of a VHS tape recorded from a film projector.
B) Opens with a really scratchy film print of some black construction paper or something.
C) Not only has the Fox logo been sawed off on this print, but it also plays visually as though it's a silent film that had been poorly managed over the decades.

I oughta note that CNN did a story about this tape: http://money.cnn.com/1999/05/28/bizbuzz/starwars/
