Summary: Vader, lightsabres, the force, millennium falcon, R2-D2.....
Review: Star Wars has everything you could possibly want in a film. The story is set amidst a battle of good against evil, the plucky and righteous forces of the republic versus the evil and sadistic forces of the empire. The good guy is a young good looking dreamer who just wants to join the battle for democracy, while the bad guy is a black clad half-human half-robot with dark powers, and with the classiest face mask you've ever seen! It's got a love triangle, sword play, dog fights in space, humour, torture, a great escape, old enemies fighting to settle an ancient score.... it just goes on and on!But on top of all this stuff of classic stories, it's also a great science fiction story, with dorky robots, exploding planets, lightsabres, spaceships, big furry aliens, not to mention the deathstar and the force! Star Wars was the first really big science fiction film, and led the way for all the other great sci-fi that came along in it's wake. Just think of Terminator, Alien, Close Encounters, Predator, Jurassic Park, not to mention the resurgence of Star Trek and the resultant flood of sci-fi on tv. Star Wars made sci-fi into a marketable commodity, and boy did it take off in a big way! It's not often you can point to a specific turning point in popular culture, but that's exactly what Star Wars was. But for me, though, it was the first film I saw in a cinema, a present for my tenth birthday. Perhaps it's a bit wimpish to call it magical, but that's what it was! Everything was so cool! A couple of things really stood out though. Light sabres - surely the coolest weapon ever. Darth Vader - a baddie you could really sink your teeth into, all that black leather, the cape, the mask, the voice. Wow! R2-D2 - a robot's robot, cute, funny, but clever and steadfastly loyal. Suddenly, every kid was covering cardboard tubes with tinfoil and having mock battles, or else breathing funny and trying to strangle people by pure force of will, or maybe just whistling and tootling a lot! I was already reading science fiction by then, but to see it come alive on the screen, so realistic, the effects so good (they still look good even now), the story so interesting, it was just a dream come true! Star Wars is an excellent film, a classic of science fiction. The effect it had on popular culture, and especially on science fiction in the cinema and on tv, will never be surpassed. If you haven't seen it by now, well it's not too late. Watch, and prepare to be a kid again.

Summary: Still the best!
Review: I was just a lttle kid when these films came out, but even then, they had a huge impact on my life. I knew I was a part of a cultural phenomenon. Nothing has changed as an adult, except that I am more aware of their impact on society. The stories of the Star Wars trilogy are humorous, fanciful, and compelling. You can not help but be spell bound while watching these films. And despite what many believe, you do not have to be a sci-fi fan to enjoy them.Everything you could want is included: romance, drama, heroric battle, humor... it's just an adrenaline rush to watch these movies. You will love it... they are still the best... Phantom Menace was excellent, but nothing will compare to thes three masterful epics!

Summary: I Can't Say Enough in a 1,000 word limit for this Review
Review: I could go on and on...and for those who know me really do know that I could talk for hours about how much I love these movies. I find myself thinking, "out of the three, which do I like best?" I still can't decide, and perhaps I shouldn't. They all are great, "A New Hope", "Empire Strikes Back", "Return of the Jedi." There's something more to it than the special effects, the interesting creatures, the space battles. I love every aspect, but what makes me enjoy these movies so much is the story. Everything was so well thought out with the story of each character, their life growing up, how they got together, their relationships, (like Vader and Luke, Luke and Leia)and how they all ended to be. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good sequel of movies to watch. The only problem is, is that you spend an average of $40 for the trilogy, and then they come out with another box set three years later...but you all ready have the movies, but you want the box the next set comes it. For true collectors you know what I mean. I don't want to buy the same movie twice. I think they should just sell the boxes for people like me, but that's fine. I'm still excited for them to come out in a few months. Star Wars is a true classic, for this generation and many to come. Who can forget? "No, I am your Father." Or... "I am a Jedi, like my father before me."

Summary: Star Wars saga is the greatest ever!!!
Review: The whole Star Wars saga in my opinion is the most extradorinary, compelling, and it has many story lines a person has to follow. When Episode 2 and Episode 3 comes out we will learn more about the story of Anakin Skywaller and how he becomes Darth Vader. Every movie has a purpose and every movie makes this wonderful saga to fit like a perfect puzzle. Yes Phantom Menace was a great movie, people are very short sighted not too see that. Phantom gave a lot of clues about what is going to happen in the future, all you have to do is follow it closely. To people who don't like Star Wars, GET LOST! No matter what anyone thinks Star Wars is the most popular and most talked about movies of our lifetime. 99.9% of people you ask have watched Star Wars. All we need is to wait til 2005 and I can pick up all 6 of these movies on DVD, now that will make everything complete!

Summary: ditch the surrogate, go back to your wife!
Review: in 1977 george lucas gave the world star wars, a rare piece of cinema that made a collosal impact on audiences and changed popular culture. his problem ever since seems to have been that he hasn't fully grasped the extent to which star wars is loved. it is his pet baby, he loves it too, but he has failed to notice that it doesn't belong to him anymore. star wars belongs to the world, and people don't appreciate seeing it tinkered with. okay, the upgraded special effects we could live with. it's a bit like seeing the wife you've been happily married to for twenty years in a new dress. it's nice, but hell, you'd love her in a potato sack. (we kind of like the flaws, george) but the added scenes! no, no. that is someone messing around with the same wife's personality. these are new bits, not only unnecessary but slightly troubling. and then there is the phantom menace. this is the substitute younger woman you hook up with if your wife leaves you and, heck, she may look similar, but she's too young for you and, besides, you just don't have the history! well, here's a film you loved all those years. all these characters have entered the popular consciousness in a way no movie has achieved probably since casablanca. the dialog is dumb, the plot is achingly simple - good vrs evil, with no shading whatsoever - but it works so well. it all comes together to make a legend. so forget episodes I - III. it was always going to be impossible to follow up the original trilogy. our expectations were too high. we had too long to think for ourselves what these new films should look like. forget them and go back to this magnificent beginning.

Summary: The same movie with new elements.
Review: I was fairly happy to hear that there was going to be another Special Edition release, I still own the THX version from 93 and skipped on getting the Special edition the first time around, if you own the Special edition already, then i suggest that you wait for the DVD but for those of you like me who own an older version or none at all get this video, plus you also get the exclusive Ep.II footage, or at least i heard that would be on it.
