Summary: God can make a re-release of the bible. So can George!
Review: Does this guy George Lucas know how to make his money? Yep, for the fifth (or even more) time he releases his classic trilogy of the Star Wars saga. The new edition contains the Special edition of all three movies. Besides that it contains a 10 minute sneak preview of "the making" of the upcoming film, Episode 2, which is the only selling argument from my point of view. I will bet that Lucasfilm wants to earn as much money thay can on these movies they can', before the costumors demands a version of the movies on DVD. And I believe the DVD versions are only a few month away. But for the die hard fan this re - re - re -re -re release is a must. The movies comes with a totally new cover in pan scan and widescreen. George... we want these movies on DVD, not on VHS. I give this re-release five stars, because VHS is what it is. If this had been the DVD release, and the movies only contained this. I wouldt rave rated it 1 star. The audience is listening. I hope Lucas is listening to the audience too.

Summary: Star Wars is still number one.
Review: I must say that the final vision of George Lucas' Star Wars Trilogy is unbelievable. I think that anyone who doesn't like the new and updated versions are depriving themselves of having an open mind. I've seen many kids eyes light up like mine did the first time that I saw the movies. I think that we all need to realize that most of us are not movie directors and most specifically not George Lucas. And yes we may be able to have our own opinions but until you can make a movie that can stand the test of time like the Star Wars Trilogy I don't think that any of us can say that George Lucas' visions are not keeping with what we all remember as being those of our childhood.

Summary: Star Wars Trilogy (Widescreen Edition) VHS
Review: While I truly believe that these are three of the best films ever made, this video release serves little or no purpose aside from sucking more money from fans. The Star Wars Trilogy has been released in more different editions than any other movie series, and this release is being made only to capitalize on the excitement for Episode II (the 10 minutes of bonus material previously unreleased). I believe that Lucasfilm should "double their efforts" to produce DVD editions of these films, rather than produce countless video editions while claiming they have no time to spend on DVD projects.

Summary: RELIVE THE SAGA
Review: Do I have the boxsets the last time they have were released? YES. Do I have them multiple times? YES. Will I buy them again? YES WHY? Because they are the best films in any galaxy near or far away! Not only that, but the EPISODE II footage...oh my. Even if it's just interviews with the cast (which it probably will be)and not a trailer (which it won't be) it will be well worth the money spent. Lets face it, alot of people did'nt like the extra or the changed scenes and they felt they were best left out, but it has no effect on the overall scheme of things so what is the problem, let it go. It's still the same old STAR WARS they know and love, with Mr. Lucas being the master story teller that he is, characters you feel you've known your whole life, special effects that are still hard to rival today and the sense that you are involved in something on a vastly bigger scale than any, if not all other films have to offer. BUY IT, LOVE IT, CHERISH IT, THE FORCE IS STRONG WITH THIS ONE(p.s you know you'll regret not buying it when it's deleted, searching all the stores and web sites just kicking your self when you pay 3 times the price it was at AMAZON.COM. Epecially when the prequels are finished and you want to have that 6 movie in a row night in with your pals. FEEL DON'T THINK )

Summary: FIVE STARS AREN'T NEAR ENOUGH
Review: Everyone knows the characters and probably what happens in all three of these movies, and if you don't I guess you've been in a cave or in a coma. These movies-Star Wars: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi- are quite simply put, my absolute favorite movies of all time. Don't automatically assume I'm some Sci-fi fanatic or weirdo either. In reality, I don't care for most sci-fi stuff. I can't really put a finger on one specific reason I love the Star Wars trilogy so much, but I think one of the main reasons is it brings me back to my childhood in a lot of ways. I was nine when the first one came out and it was love at first sight. So many memorable scenes and characters. Too many to mention here, certainly. Like most kids, I wanted to see the good guys win and win they did. Darth Vader is one of the most memorable screen villains of all time, too. He's not sleezy and sadistic like so many of the one-dimensional bad guys you see today. I hate to say too much about the movie because I wouldn't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen it(if there is anyone out there who hasn't seen it!) Let me just say that if you have intentionally not watched this movie because you don't think you would like the space stuff, just give it a try. It has so much more to offer than that.

Summary: A great thing
Review: Lucasarts did a great thing with releasing the Trilogy agian. It will have the Episode II footage on it. And it will have the greatest moives of all time included. If you have seen them once you know why you must see them agian. And only if you have seen Episode I you must see them. For anybody this is a great thing from people like me who are die hard Star Wars fan to the normal every day person you have to see these moives.

Summary: Finally!
Review: A SE made fan, I haven't been able to find the moves anywhere to buy them. Now that they are being re-released, I can finally buy them! If you don't know the story, it's simple: Farmboy meets princess and bad guy. Makes bad guy good guy, kill very bad guy. Oh yeah, he loses his hand somehwere in between. :)

Summary: uuuhhh, okay then
Review: well, i think star wars is the best movie of all time. but,i am getteing sick and tired of waiting for them to come out on dvd. if you're going to make all these really cool special effects, and if you are going to make the movie quality "better", why put it on VHS? i think he should concentrate on his new movie, instead of trying to make his old one "better". i would like to know just what exactly is wrong with the original movies. yes, compared to the technology today, the special effects are not as good, but that is what makes it so cool. but i do have to say, i probably will buy this.

Summary: Great to be back!
Review: Brilliant news that the original trilogy is set to return to VHS and not before time. Although I did buy the previous boxset 3 years ago, the tempting footage of Episode 2 will lure me to make yet another purchase of my favourite films yet again on video as will many others. Only a query, even though Episode 1 was released only in Easter, I am slightly curious as to why The Phantom Menace has been excluded from this box set, do they intend to separate the prequels from the original until the saga's completion?

Summary: Still great, and hardly ruined by the Special Edition revamp
Review: I think just about everyone over 5 years of age has seen a Star Wars movie, they're part of the culture now. Star Wars Is (In my opinion) the best In the trilogy, but ESB Is definetely the most Interesting - as earth shatteringly spectacular Episode 1's lightsaber battle Is, It can't compare with Empire's "In the family" shock fest: "I am your..." Well you know the rest. Return Of the Jedi just doesen't compare, It's practically the first film all over again with a new Death Star, and more flashy effects (and those franchise fodder Ewoks!") I don't think we can really judge Episode 1 until we see Episodes 2 and 3, then everything will make perfect sense. And everyone seems to think the Special Edition's practically trashed these movies, come on! The Whampa at the opening of ESB really gives a fuller picture, the Sarlac In ROJ now looks a lot fiercer and Mos Eisley In Star Wars looks whole and complete. OK, the Greedo and Han scene just came out looking stupid, but this hardly scraps the film. And lets face It, If you had created a masterpiece which you weren't happy with (even If everyone else thought It was fine) would you want to leave It the way It was? Well that's really up to you, but these are great films, even If the chances are you already have them In another, less glossy packaging. The Episode 2 featurette Is definetely simply a sales hoarse which Is a bit shameless, but no doubt It will shift millions of cassettes, and why not, we all want to see what's going on with E-2. (Although If they say this Is yet another limited edition, then I really will get angry)
