Summary: Happy that the trilogy is back
Review: Some of you will not agree with me, yeah I do love the original release (that's the one I grew up with) but lets be realistic money and technology did not allowed Lucas to put on film what he had visioned. Those who think that Lucas is trying to make a few bucks more by the holidays, well perhaps but have in mind that the last release was 3 years ago and no longer available for the new comers, yeah new people who just entered the S/W galaxy after episode 1 are able to get the trilogy now. And those complaining about the re-release have in mind that video movies suffer from wear and tear; If you guys know so much about movies you'll know what happened to Little Mermaid from Disney; I saw people paying up to $250.00 for an used copy when it entered in moratory, thank God Disney returned the movie again for those who missed it the first time around and even rentals for this movie was becoming almost imposible because the movie was near extinction; Very clear I will state that this is the chance for the new generation of Star Wars fans to get it so you complaintful people measure your thoughts before typing them here, I'll buy it again.

Summary: "New" is "Good!"
Review: First of all, for every one reason people find to not like the "Special Edition" versions of the "Star Wars Trilogy", there are three reasons to love it! I'll admit, I don't like the new version of the "Greedo Scene", but I do love the new scene added of Stormtroopers riding the Dewbacks. I don't like the energy ring that appears when the Death Star is destroyed, but I love the cleaned up Landspeeder effects. I don't like the musical number added to "Return of the Jedi", but I love the new ending of "Jedi" that omits the "Ewok Song." I could go on, and on, but I won't. I will definitely buy this new Trilogy set for four reasons: Reason #1 is that the cover boxes were made to match those of the "Episode One" video cover (and eventually Episodes II and III), and "Special Edition" is not written anywhere on any of these videos in this new box set - These are the final versions of these films, accept it and move on! Reason #2 is the 10 minute "Making of Episode II" feature. Reason #3 is that if you've noticed, this new box set is Rated: Unrated by Amazon.Com, unlike the previous box sets which were Rated: PG - That means the version contained in this new box set has been altered by Lucas in some way and did not go through the ratings process by The Motion Picture Association of America because it is being released on video and not in theatres - There have been rumblings by folks at Industrial Light & Magic saying that he has cleaned up and changed a few other scenes since the re-release - Such as Obi-Wan getting killed and the "Rancor Scene" from "Jedi." My fourth and last reason for buying it will be that I love these movies! I watch this Trilogy repeatedly, and until they come out on DVD, I need to keep buying them because I wear out the ones I have. So there!

Summary: DO NOT BUY IT!
Review: Lucas is at it again, getting the fans to buy more of the same thing that has already been released before. He has time to put these movies on video but not DVD! Using the scam once again by adding a tiny little extra something or other to the set so you feel you have to buy it again. How many times do we have to purchase these films? Are we the fans going to let him get away with it again? Let Lucas see the errors in his ways and realize that he can no longer take advantage of the fans for these films. Wait for the DVD's.

Summary: Special Edition Ok / Re-release no
Review: I have no problem with the Special Edition but a re-release on VHS no thanks. Why can't they bring this special edition on DVD, 'cause 15 years ago a bought the original trilogy, 5 years ago the restored version, and three years later the special edition, all on VHS. So, I think I will not buy this one, and wait... 3 stars for the Special edition and a big, big 5 stars for whole trilogy.

Summary: Hardcore Fans complain too much!
Review: O.K. First off I'd like to say that George Lucas only repaired the old trilogy he didn't ruin it! Watching the original version of Episode IV is boring and the special effects are pure cheese, when watching the special edition your watching what Lucas invisioned when he wanted to release the film back in 1976. I think it's great, it ties with episode I. Imagine if you show'd your kids the original versions and explained to them why there weren't any CGI creatures in the last three films! I actually think that Lucas could've done a better job in restoring some other scenes that weren't tweeked for the Special Editions. Episode IV needs more CGI shots especially at the Battle of Yavin scenes, the CGI scenes blended with the oldschool special effects are pure cheese (this is the slowest episode in the Trilogy) it needs something to tweek it up. Episode V needs more CGI creatures, and the asteroid scene needs to be fixed (this one lacks in creatures). Episode VI, do something about the Rancor, the matte lines kill the whole experience, digitise the speeder chase on Endor. I'm just worried that the Original Trilogy wont blend with the Prequel Trilogy. I'll watch Episode I-III in the near future then pop in IV and say to myself "what the f@#k happened here?"

Summary: The Watered Down Special Edition
Review: This is the Special Edition version, not the Original classics as we saw 20 years ago. I have mixed views towards the Special Editions. I like some stuff, like the pan galactic celebration in Jedi, and getting to see more of cloud city in Empire. But I thought Jabba looked too CGI, and Greedo does NOT fire first, period. The films were just fine. Did we really need this? Anyway, I wish they'd put out the Originals, I've heard that Mr. Lucas is destroying all the original prints of the trilogy so that the only version left is the Special Edition. Perhaps we'll see it on DVD someday?

Summary: The best version ever
Review: After seeing the original and special edition Star Wars Trilogy, I can honestly say that this is probably going to be the best version of them all, and with widescreen to see more of the movies'. As if the Trilogy wasn't enough, Lucas Films has put 10 minutes of Episode 2 which should make all Star Wars fan love this version of the movies than the others made before it. Though I haven't seen it yet, I'm sure it deserves 5 stars and that this is a movie made for everybody.

Summary: Wow and wow again and again!
Review: In the art of film making there are always some pieces that capture ones interest, but very few are able to capture ones imagination and send it on a wild ride of adventure and fantasy like the Star Wars trilogy has, over the last 23 years.Now we can enjoy it all over again as if it were the very first time in this new Widescreen version of the saga, that promises to send you through hyperspace into the farthest reaches of outerspace right from your living room, giving you the feeling of the real movie theater, but of course, without all those things at the movies we can certainly do without. It also packs a special bonus to all Star Wars fans, old as well as new. That's a special preview on the next film, Star Wars Episode II, that also promises a bundle for all to enjoy. It comes with all that good stuff we have come to expect in the ways of the Force and much, much more from the galaxy far, far away that we all have come to love. I don't know about you, but I hope you get yourself a copy of this magnificent piece of movie magic right away, I know I will, and soon.

Summary: What a film series!
Review: Now if George Lucas would get off his bum-bum and release this on DVD! The 20th anniversary series is a great series to the die-hard fans, who always want to see something different. Lucas takes advantage of the situation and creates some extras and adds deleted scenes that were not in the original movie. While adding a few seconds here and there, it provides small changes, but do not add or subtract away from the story. Star Wars is the greatest affected by the changes (even though Return of the Jedi has a completely different ending) and Star Wars fans will eat it up. The picture quality is excellent for a VHS tape and sound is very good. However, tape just doesn't have the "sparkle" of DVD, due to it's lower resolution. The colors will always look a little washed out and grainy to the disc. Also, the pre-movie stuff (interviews, behind the scenes stuff) should be taken off or put on another tape. Do I really want to sit through 15 minutes of Lucas ranting and raving the second time I see the tape? If you haven't gotten this series yet, now is ther perfect time. With Lucas' THX technology, this is a great tape and it's WIDESCREEN! However, if you are a die hard DVD fan, you might want to wait, although no one really knows for how long...Rating: A

Summary: Best movie of all time!
Review: Star Wars-Just the name brings the senses in your mind flying. In my opinion the best movies of all time, it has everything you want in a good movie:Action, romance, excitement, danger and adventure. These elements are rarely found all together in a single film franchise and if they are it is usually put together very badly. For adults this takes them back to their childhood years, pretending to play games like cowboys and indians, I mean tell me someone who has watched star wars and not pretended to have lightsabre fights with their little brother, and for the kids these movies give them a sense of adventure inside. These three movies are the best of all time. Trust me if you haven't seen star wars already you might as well order this now, you will want to watch it again and again.
