The Clone Wars box set was really nice packaging, except that they didn’t indicate either formats to differentiate one another. I think that’s more of a marketing problem than a packaging problem. I own the blu ray version of it and I really like the hard box, it protects the content in it very well, along with amazing artwork on it.
These types of videos are so fun to watch! Love your top 5s, Nathan!
Not necessarily Star Wars-related, but home video-related nonetheless, is how complete series boxsets nowadays have those chunky cases where all the discs are stacked on top of one and other in each tray, I just hate those (it causes the discs to scratch, esp when it's DVD, and what's really stupid is how to get those discs out each time I have to swap out a different one).
Your channel is awesome!
Would love another one of these!
Loving these top 5s. A great format and the amazing niche stuff that I look to you for. A little surprised The Last Jedi on 4k with the black box slip cover was on this list.
I like the Malaysian design XD you get a very cool Nabo Palace design. I think its keant to be used as a print while the disc holders have to be put away
the clone wars box sets were probably a misprint. it happens alot actually. they most likely had printed a large amount when they found the problem and needed to figure out how to save and differentiate between the two while saving on disposal of the old and re-printing costs, thus the back card was added. its a lot cheaper and their release dates could be met.
I'm not seeing how it would be a misprint. That would only make sense if one of them was specifically somehow labeled as for one format or the other, not unlabeled entirely, unless you're arguing that the size is what makes it obvious it was meant for one and not the other, but that doesn't make sense in light of the art and guides inside being the same size regardless and requiring the larger box.
@@ChronoRadio i'm just stating what could be the case as it happens periodically and that would be a glaring "oops". there's a company here in so-cal that specifically destroys media for the film and music industry, be it misprints or destroying media so those companies can write it off. years ago big lots store got in trouble for selling dvd's that that company sold to them, who were contracted to destroyed the media. i bought 1 dvd at that time that had the correct artwork on the disc but it was a different movie. i have many more examples with cd's.
One that would definitely be in my top 5 would be the Executor set. It is both my most and least favorite at the same time. The case is amazing but the inner crinkly flimsy worthless plastic tray is infuriating.
Also annoying are the lightsaber packages with the disc in an extention box that's held on with a piece of tape.
France edition of LD's is very weird.
Man, in my opinion the other VCD sets are even worse. There's so much empty space, it's impossible to find a non-crushed one.
After I read about that pyramidal French set in the book, I knew it had to be in this top 5!
I think Warner Bros should’ve given the DVD and Blu-ray complete series sets of The Clone Wars two different packages and artwork designs. Which is what Paramount/CBS did when they repackaged and reissued all the Star Trek shows in proper complete series sets.
For example, The DVD version of the complete series set of the original Star Trek series uses a silver box while the Blu-ray version uses a blue box. With that being said, why do you think Warner Bros didn’t do that for The Clone Wars complete series sets?
I'd imagine it was just cost-cutting. Why design two boxes when you can design one? If you assume most people will only buy one or the other, and the J-cards make it clear which is which when on shelves, why spend the money to design a different package when one would suffice? Sucks, but probably make cost sense for them.
The French definitive collection looks more like the pizza box packaging. (7:21, 8:27)

Bro you should pull the batteries from that light saber. They might be leaking and damaging the electronics.
I have. I'd forgotten they were still in there, so I removed them after recording. The downside: It requires cutting yet another piece to access the battery compartment, but it's not a piece easily visible when still in the box, so not a huge deal.
