Rating: Summary: DVD? Review: This is a great collection of the Star Wars Trilogy. The original, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of The Jedi. The second two movies feature my favorite characters Yoda and Jabba the Hut. The storylines to these movies were thin but you didn't care because of the special effects but on VHS these movies seem really poor. I say add it to DVD and then I will buy it.

Rating: Summary: A New Hope ... For Science Fiction Review: Stop and think for a minute - 1977 - What were you doing in 1977? Petting your pet rock? Getting down with Tony Orlando & Dawn? Star Wars hit the world like a bolt from the blue. We were not prepared. Little did we know that 25 years later, the saga still continues. What an original idea. To start a saga with episode IV. At the time, we didn't even question why - we were too blown away by the film. Even in the opening scene, we seem to be walking into the middle of a movie. Slowly, questions arose. Through the decades, questions were answered, and more questions asked. But one answer stands certain - The continuing Star Wars story is the saga of our lives. May we all continue to rebel against the evil empire. And may the force be with you...
Rating: Summary: A long time ago, in a trilogy far away.... Review: STAR WARS EPISODE IV, V, & VI: TIMELESS CLASSICS It was history in the making in the world of Hollywood, before George Lucas went over to the Dark Side with the prequels. In 1977, Lucas created Star Wars Episode IV-A New Hope, little expecting that this movie would go to box-office light-speed and gain him a name in cinema history. This was the saga of an idealistic farmboy named Luke Skywalker, son of a fallen Jedi Knight, and his quest to seek out not only a princess but his own destiny. Luke, Obi-Wan Kenobi, two droids, the squat but very versatile R2-D2 and the cowardly Tin Man, C-3PO, Corellian space pirate Han Solo and the Wookiee Chewbacca immortalized themselves in the psyches of Boomer and Generation-X'ers. The Mos Eisley Cantina, with its plethora of exotic creatures, the desert world of Tatooine, the moon-sized planet-destroying Death Star of Grand Moff Tarkin, the rickety saucer-shaped Millennium Falcon, and dogfights between X-Wings and Tie Fighters set the standard for science fiction films thereafter. Viewers would also meet Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith, who would symbolize the evil that was the Galactic Empire. Menacing in his skull-like helmet, armour, black cloak, and his ominous breathing apparatus, Darth Vader became my favorite Star Wars character. Indeed, he gained prominence in The Empire Strikes Back, the best of the trilogy, featuring Snow Walkers, asteroid fields, some hot-shot flying by Han Solo, cities in the clouds, and wizened Jedi Masters from whom we learned that "luminous beings are we, not this crude matter." Yoda demonstrated the triumph of the human will when he levitated Luke's X-wing from the swamps of Dagobah. Luke's harrowing adventure in the cave was a clue to what he would learn later. Empire featured the proper debut of the bounty hunter Boba Fett, whose armoured array of weaponry, cunning, and guile served the Empire well. A pity the other bounty hunters were seen all too briefly. The trilogy wrapped up in Return Of The Jedi, where Luke, Lando, Princess Leia went to rescue Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt, then prepare in time for the climactic battle against the Empire and Death Star Mark II, and a shot at getting Emperor Palpatine himself. Luke learned the truth about his father and readied himself for the confrontation with Vader and the Emperor. The monsters at Jabba's palace exceeded the cantina scenes, with Jabba representing the ultimate in Phil Tippett's creations. However, I do prefer the original Max Rebo music number. And as for the Ewoks, yes, "short help is better than none," and at least the revamped edition did away with their cutesy dance number. And the space battle was the perfect special effects triumph with just the right excitement, not the numbing digital blast of sound and noise that permeates today's movies. All three of these movies played a formative role in my childhood. These three videos are the revamped editions, and most of the new scenes add to the original cuts of the movies without ruining them. It is the triumphant dialogue and appealing characters that make the original trilogy classics in their time. Who can forget such memorable lines as "I felt as if millions of voices had cried out, and were suddenly silenced," "Don't you call me a mindless philospher, you overweight blob of grease!", "Garbage! What a really wonderful idea! What an incredible smell you've discovered!", "Look at the size of that thing!" and "He's got to follow his own path, no one can choose it for him." So remember, a Jedi's strength flows in embracing the Good Trilogy, A New Hope, Empire, and Jedi. But beware the Dark Trilogy--Menace, Clones, and the one yet to come. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. So trust your feelings, and may the Force be with you.
Rating: Summary: George Lucas, GENIUS Review: This is The best Star Wars Movie out of all 4 that are out! It is action packed with excitement and clever unique entertainment for the whole family to enjoy! If you like episode IV then you should get the trilogy! ^^ || < V
Rating: Summary: Better than the prequel Review: I'll keep it short. This may not have amazing GCi but the acting is better, the dialoge is better, and it just kicks prequel butt. Buy this Trilogy
Rating: Summary: Excellent movie! Put this on a DVD! Review: Star Wars Episode IV is an excellent movie! Only problem is, the movie isn't on a DVD yet. They should make one right away! Also, 12 people hate this movie! Don't listen to them! Thank you.
Rating: Summary: spiffy! Review: All right, he gilded the lily. This classic movie always looked great, and didn't need millions of dollars of new special effects added. It certainly didn't need to have its very best moment completly emasculated. But don't think I don't love the glorious new spiffiness of it, or that I wouldn't buy a copy the very first day it came out on dvd.
Rating: Summary: The only Star Wars movies you need Review: With George Lucas becoming an overrated, bloated egomaniac and completely sucking the life and adventure out of the once promising series, the classic "original" trilogy is the only Lucas road worth traveling. Watch these movies and compare them with the two recent prequels, and you will see many differences in quality. Sure, the new ones are amped up on SFX steroids, but are missing the heart that the semi-low budget "A New Hope" had. My favorite movie out of the trilogy would probably be The Empire Strikes back, which completely destroys "A New Hope" in my opinion. I recently bought this trilogy and enjoyed watching it because it reminded me of when I was really small and I used to own all 3 movies in their original packaging (Too bad they got sold at a lawn sale 8 years ago). Oh yeah, George, if you're watching, bring back Chewbacca.
