LiveLeak is posting footage from a LaserDisc someone reportedly purchased off Ebay for $699. If you’re not familiar with the LaderDisc, it was this very short-lived format that came out late 70’s/early 80’s. The video quality was said to surpass the VHS format of the time but it was huge, like the big vinyl records from back in the day, and you had to of course purchase the LaserDisc player, which it seemed like virtually no one had.
The LaserDisc contains lost footage from the film Return of the Jedi. The video was created as a sort of promo for some editing software that came out in 1983. Knowing the big monster Disney is trolling and lurking for copyright infringement cases, it shouldn’t be long before these clips get yanked from the web. Watch ’em while you can. There’s also an outtake of Frank Oz doing Yoda compliments of LiveLeak.
