Summary: Search your feelings - you know these movies RULE!
Review: Two hours in a darkened movie theater in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1977 were enough to change the life of a then eight-year-old kid forever. For anyone out there who enjoys adventure, science fiction, special effects, or just good storytelling, there is no denying that the original Star Wars trilogy is a monumental achievement in modern American cinema. The cultural influence of these movies cannot be overstated enough. The first film and its two sequels have grabbed a place in American culture right up there next to Gone With The Wind. 99% of movies out in the last few decades will eventually fade and be forgotten, but these films will be around forever. I myself now have two young kids, and you can bet that I will sit down and watch these movies with them many times. These three films, together with their three "prequels", tell a basic, simple story. It's the story of the corruption of good from within, the seeming hopeless descent into evil, and the eventual redemption and victory of good. Once you get past all the special effects and sci-fi elements, it's actually a very powerful theme, an one I think everyone can benefit from. The message is wrapped up in a LOT of good storytelling, including awesome space battles, unforgettable characters, and more than a little comedy. As far as the new effects and added scenes for the Special Edition versions, I thought they were kind of a mixed bag. In the first film, for example, I really liked the shots of the Millenium Falcon on approach to Yavin, and I also liked the shots of the X-Wings and Y-Wings as they round the curve of the red gas giant on their way to do battle for the Death Star. There were several EXCELLENT new shots on Tatooine, especially Obi-Wan Kenobi's house and the "new" version of Mos Eisley. On the other hand, I could have done without some of the changes to the dogfighting scenes, and also I think the movie was better off without the scene between Han and Jabba. I also never quite understood why they added in one scene with Biggs at the rebel base, but not the scenes between Luke and Biggs on Tatooine. As it stands, the addition of Biggs is jarring and doesn't seem to make any sense. It makes sense if you've read the original book, but one shouldn't have to read the book to understand the movie. I also thought the change to the scene with Han and Greedo was a mistake. As for Empire and Jedi, those changes didn't make much difference to me. I own both the original and "special" editions of the trilogy on VHS, so I get to pick and choose which ones I like the most. I know that Lucas is going to release these movies on DVD at some point. Perhaps it will be set up in a way that will allow fans to "choose" which version of each scene they want to see. Now THAT would be something! If you are one of the few out there who haven't seen or are familiar with these films, I'm not going to spoil the plot for you. I will just say this - you OWE it to yourself to see these movies. They are classics, now and forever.

Summary: THE BEST STORY EVER TOLD!!!!!!!!
Review: Star Wars... what hasn't been said about these great films? This is the best story. By the time you have finished the trilogy you will love these films. From the action of lightsaber fight scenes and intense space dog-fights, to the antics of C-3PO & R2-D2 and the cute lovable Ewoks. These movies have everything. A classic story of good & evil, to the love story of Han and Leia to the infamous line, "Luke, I am you're father". These are the BEST movies ever. Buy the trilogy, and rent Episode 1 (Which was in my opinion, not Lucas's best. George you can do better!) So buy this trilogy, and I'll see you in line for Episode 2!

Summary: STAR WARS Ep. IV is the best ,but where's the DVD?
Review: I love Star Wars ,but I know I am not alone on that comment that It's about time George Lucas give the fans what we want! Is the special edition DVD to the Star Wars trilogy. 6 discs loaded with stuff that would take an entire day to see!!!! that would be Star Wars Heaven. I'm sorry ,but Episode 1 is just isn't enough.

Summary: Back to Basics: - from Episode IV to Episode I
Review: Just think, how many new special effects were available for the new sequel Episode I, thou Episode IV “A New Hope†with all those old fashioned effects is still ranked within the top ten movies of all times, at least for me, the best movie ever. The touch of simplicity (R2D2 & C3PO lost in the desert and their encounter with the Jawas), rustic elements (the most popular starship, “Millenium Falcon†was “a piece of junk†as described by young Skywalker and also the scenes at Mos Aisly resembling the old wild west) and the interaction of characters with opposite lifestyles (ancient mysticism inspired by the figure Obi Wan as opposed to the agnosticism of the outlaw Han Solo) makes up the difference between a movie with special effects (Episode IV) and a movie of special effects (Episode I).

Summary: The Box Set is the Best!!
Review: Baby Boomers gotta have the Box Set. Darth Vader, C3PO, R2D2, Yoda, Obi Wan, Han, everbody looks much better digitally remastered. It is part of "Our Generation." You simply must own this set. It is a part of our heritage.

Summary: Awesome movie, and a great DVD
Review: I am refering to the All Region DVD that is now available, but only if you look hard enough. This movie is great, but DVD is the only way to view it. Widescreen, with crisp DTS or Dolby Digital sound (TIE fighters zooming overhead, Sweeet!!) This movie is great, and the new scenes are pretty cool in the original, but they mess the whole movie up in Return of the Jedi (Jabba's place at the beggining resembles an episode of Barney the Dinosaur). The original and ESB are great with the new scenes. (...)

Summary: The Best Action Movie I've Ever Seen
Review: These movies are AWESOME. They were the single thing that started me off on science fiction. They have everything: Unforgettable characters, great dialogue, a wonderful plot, and excellent special effects. Did I mention the amazing music? I would recommend this series to anyone who would like a start to science fiction that starts them off with a bang. I would recommend this series to anyone who already loves science fiction. Basically, anyone who owns a VCR should watch this series. It will blow your mind!

Summary: Much Much better than Phantom Menace
Review: Now these are good movies. I barely remember when I was 6 or 7 or what not and saw Star Wars in the theater. It wasn't until high school that I became really interested in it. Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi had a lot of continuity with Star Wars. Besides, Han's Falcon is really cool! These movies had Lots of adventure and sci-fi as well as some fantasy, but who says it's fantasy, there is a science to the "Force" it's a energy eminating throughout the Universe and I quote "If there's a bright center to the Universe then this is the place it's farthest from." Quoting Luke Skywalker referring to what he did not know at the time. true Wisdom is what you do not know but know anyway. I already have the tapes on Original and 'Special' edition. I usually watch the originals and won't be buying this new release. However these are good movies. Not because they have the name 'Star Wars' stamped on the cover but because they are good, plain and simple. Phantom Menace also has 'Star Wars' stamped on the cover/movie poster but was a terrible movie.
Clone Wars is coming out soon and I'm not to gung ho about it either, but I will watch it once(...), if I like it, I'll buy the DVD, if not, I won't. that simple. When this comes out as the Original version, I'll buy this DVD simply because DVD's last 100,000 years and tapes last a mere 5.
