Summary: I CAN'T THINK OF A SERIES...
Review: that offers more fun, action, fantasy or adventure. Although EMPIRE is the best of the three, these films are such a wonderful experience! (especially if you can manage to watch them back-to-back!!!)
My only problem is with the new digital effects- I would have been happier if Lucas et al would have simply cleaned up the color and sound, as is done with most DVD transfers...The films just don't need any tinkering!!! I prefer the originals (even the funny smudges below Luke's landspeeder).

Summary: Classic
Review: This is the classic Epic Tale. Not a book (well actually it is) but it is absolutely classic film. The first was Oscar Nominated for Best Picture but lost to Annie Hall. Buy these now!

Summary: Bring it back!
Review: When ep 2 came out,they reissued the pan/scan VHS of the orginal trilogy (special edition) but NOT THE WIDESCREEN casette (at that time).
Although a DVD may be less then a year away,there should be a way for folks to watch the orginal trilogy the way it was intended to be seen! in the ORGINAL ASPECT RATIO! (if not in a theatre)

Summary: Better than it should have been.
Review: Some apologists for The Phantom Menace, not all, defend it by saying, "Yes, it has its flaws; but it's just as good as the original Star Wars, which had the very same flaws."After a while it's hard to avoid the suspicion that they're right. Not about The Phantom Menace being a good film - it is definitely not - but about Star Wars being no better. Maybe we've been deluded these past decades. Similar delusions have persisted for just as long. Could it be that Star Wars, too, was an unimaginative, flatly directed, kiddie movie? NO! Most certainly, it was not. One thing The Phantom Menace reveals, though, is that Star Wars was not fated to be as good as it was. It became great partly by accident. Harrison Ford has genuine charm; Mark Hamill is perfect as the innocent adolescent with a tendency to whine; Alec Guinness needs no comment; and no other female lead had the strength of Carrie Fischer - at least, not while playing a traditional princess. Maybe this perfect cast was assembled by sheer chance. (Lucas never replicated the feat, after all.) But so what? It's still a perfect cast. They all created memorable characters; and moreover, as characters and actors, interacted successfully with each other. Mos Eisley's spaceport was also a fortuitous accident. "Never will you find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy" - yet it managed to avoid being a thriving, respectable looking town largely because George Lucas didn't have the money to turn it into one. And a good thing too. It's possibly the most frightening place in the Star Wars universe: truly grimy, light years away from real civilisation, crawling with odd and touchy aliens. With art direction, special effects, and music, too, George Lucas struck gold. Has a science fantasy world ever looked better? Have special effects ever succeeded in making such a world look more real? Arguably not - although this isn't what makes Star Wars unique. Nor is the music (although the music is part of what makes it unique). No: there really is magic here. It sounds a cliché, but there IS something about the simple but honestly pursued story, or the world, or the score, or something, that lifts Star Wars high above by-the-numbers space opera - the same indefinable element that makes Das Rheingold more than a soap opera with occasional sorcery, and The Lord of the Rings more than the first of five thousand episodic fantasy adventures. This is the company "Star Wars" belongs in. I for one am thankful that Lucas never had the time or money to over-fill Star Wars in the way that he has Epiodes I and II. The new films are perfect examples of how self-indulgence achieves only one thing, the spoiling of the art. If the film isn't quite up to the standard of the aforementioned opera or the book, well... maybe that's because it found its way into such company by accident. It belongs there all the same.

Summary: AWESOME.
Review: I love this trilogy. I was 9 years old when I went to see Star Wars at the movie theater and 4 more times after that. From the first scene, when the destroyer flies overhead, my jaw dropped in amazement. The special effects of these movies are so good that even today they hold their own compared to the cgi effects of the newer films (which in my opinion are terrible). The acting is very good and natural, the script is articulate and multidimensional and the storyline is dinamic and layered. I love all three of them. Overall: EXCELLENT.

Summary: still the most convincing star wars movie
Review: For me, this is still the most convincing star wars movie. Its plot progression flows very naturally, and there is very little dialog that feels artificial to me. I can watch this movie over and over, and it is still entertaining every time even after all these years. It's true that the acting in this movie is pretty bad by the likes Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill, but Alec Guiness, Peter Cushing, and James Earl Jones give superb performances IMO. I'm one who prefers the Special Edition release vs. the old version, but I hope Lucas will release both on DVD.

Summary: A quickie review.
Review: Face it, Star Wars is the best trilogie ever created. It is creative, has great special effects, great writing, and good writing. That's all a movie needs. In this review I will indivually review each of the the three movies in this amazing series. First of all I need to review the movie that started it all, the movie that started one of the biggest franchises of all time...That movie being Star Wars episode four: A new Hope... Star Wars episde IV is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen. The writing is amazing the story goes a little something like this... On the desert planet of Tatooine a young boy named Luke Skywalker is living with his Aunt and Uncle. I don't want to give the movie a way so I guess I shouldn't tell you much of the story, that's just enough. Lucas is a genuis, well a genuis at writing. It is one of the coolest movies of all time. Next is the Empire strikes back, some say the best of the series. that is a really good movie. It is deeper and Darker than the original. Luke is older,and the movie is scarier. It begins on the swoy planet of Hoth on that famous battle called the battle of Hoth. The special effects and writing are even better than the first, and tha's pretty hard to beat. It is a wonderful movie. Better than the first. And lastly(my personal favorite of the series) Return of the Jedi. This is a moving wonderul movie. The special effects are better than ever in this one. Well to make a long story short the SW series is the best Sci-Fi/Fantasy film ever to hit the market.

Summary: One of the best trilogy's of all time!!!!!!
Review: This movie has always been a must for me. I have seen all three movies numerous times and I'll continue to watch them till my eyes hurt. I have not purchashed the trilogy on VHS just yet because I'm anxiously waiting for it to be converted to DVD format. When this milestone is releaseed on the scene all other movies\DVD's had better drop their release anchors before they become blown out of the water.(Just to put it lightly)
