Summary: Don't listen to these morons!
Review: Quite possibly the most epic collection of science fiction stories ever made, it is the brilliantly designed brainchild of creator George Lucas. Telling the tale of the evil senator palpatine's rise to power and the legacy of the Skywalker family, you are wintered into a world where numerous aliens, planets, vehicles, droids, weapons, technology, and culture of a galaxy far, far away wrap your greatest imaginations in amazement.

Episode IV: A New Hope - There's a lot of things I could say about this film, but I'm pretty sure most of you reading this have already seen this movie. The special effects are fantastic for this film even by today's standards, and the character development in this film is one of the best I've seen in years. The story will have you on an epic adventure of many proportions, so it's no wonder this film is still remembered even today. Although there are certain story elements that aren't really original and the story can get predictable at times, it doesn't ruin this film. George Lucas does a great job directing this film and has the story and special effects work together beautifully; the soundtrack for this film is superb. With so many great memorable scenes like the showdown between Obi-Wan and Darth Vader or the classic flight scene with Luke Skywalker. This movie will have you cheering and begging for more after it's finished.

Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back - The story gets a little darker with this film and has some very surprising plot twists. This movie not only surpasses the original, but is a great movie in its own right. The acting, directing, cinematography, musical score, and special effects are great, and compliment the story quite well. This movie will have on an emotional roller coaster that'll leave you gasping for more. With epic scenes like the showdown between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader or the tragic end Han Solo faces in this film, it's no wonder why this film is considered the best out of all the Star Wars films.

Episode VI: Return of the Jedi - What can I say about this third film? It's another masterpiece in movie history. The story can get a little cheesy at times with the ewoks and a bit predictable, but it doesn't ruin the experience. George Lucas not only produced a great story, but he also delivered another great musical score and special effects to back it up. The original Star Wars trilogy is one of the best movie series of all time with great moments like the final confrontation Luke has with Darth Vader and the Emperor or the touching love story with Princess Leia and Han Solo, so this movie series never stops being interesting. A true classic for any movie fan.

Overall, the original trilogy is truly a masterpiece.

My favorite character in this trilogy is definitely Han Solo.
He's got this cocky, bad ass attitude that I like.

I first seen these when my dad bought the trilogy on laserdisc in 1995.
I loved these after since I watched them for the first time.

After seeing the ORIGINAL films, this DVD box set took awhile to grow on me.
As I watched Episode IV, I adapted to the changes.
The picture and sound are phenomenal. The films look like they were made TODAY. Now THAT, my friends, is AMAZING.
Lucas said he wanted them this way, so I guess everyone who wants these on DVD will have to accept that.

He's never going to give us the originals, but these will do.

Review: I grew up with these absolute classic movies. I have been waiting since I bought my dvd player years ago for the release of these onto dvd. I am a star wars purist. Though the original versions may not have had the super realistic special effects, they had something that the new ones are lacking entirely.....SOUL!!!! I remember when I was young cracking a tear at the end of Jedi as all of the Ewoks and Charactors danced around........I can still hear that SONG!!!! To my horror, when Jedi ended, this version was a dry as toast. No heart at all. What a stupid thing to do to the end of a one of a kind trilogy. And how stupid to put young Anikan in there instead of the old Anikan that we were used to. And then to keep Obi One as an old man.......it just makes no freakin' sense. STUPID. Just to push his rewrite of the story..........and George, if you happen to read this, I really hope your third Star Wars coming out in May of this year is a hell of a lot better than the other two new ones, as they just do not have it. I will give you a hint, try a little less special effects, and a whole lot more story and charactor development. The first three Star Wars were all great movies that tied in perfectly with the previous films. The new ending of Jedi tore that continuity to pieces. They are only cheapening the entire Star Wars franchise by doing these stupid changes. It seems that Lucas is loosing touch with what made Star Wars such a great movie to begin with.
