Rating: Summary: Star Wars saga is the greatest ever!!! Review: The whole Star Wars saga in my opinion is the most extradorinary, compelling, and it has many story lines a person has to follow. When Episode 2 and Episode 3 comes out we will learn more about the story of Anakin Skywaller and how he becomes Darth Vader. Every movie has a purpose and every movie makes this wonderful saga to fit like a perfect puzzle. Yes Phantom Menace was a great movie, people are very short sighted not too see that. Phantom gave a lot of clues about what is going to happen in the future, all you have to do is follow it closely. To people who don't like Star Wars, GET LOST! No matter what anyone thinks Star Wars is the most popular and most talked about movies of our lifetime. 99.9% of people you ask have watched Star Wars. All we need is to wait til 2005 and I can pick up all 6 of these movies on DVD, now that will make everything complete!
Rating: Summary: ditch the surrogate, go back to your wife! Review: in 1977 george lucas gave the world star wars, a rare piece of cinema that made a collosal impact on audiences and changed popular culture. his problem ever since seems to have been that he hasn't fully grasped the extent to which star wars is loved. it is his pet baby, he loves it too, but he has failed to notice that it doesn't belong to him anymore. star wars belongs to the world, and people don't appreciate seeing it tinkered with.okay, the upgraded special effects we could live with. it's a bit like seeing the wife you've been happily married to for twenty years in a new dress. it's nice, but hell, you'd love her in a potato sack. (we kind of like the flaws, george) but the added scenes! no, no. that is someone messing around with the same wife's personality. these are new bits, not only unnecessary but slightly troubling. and then there is the phantom menace. this is the substitute younger woman you hook up with if your wife leaves you and, heck, she may look similar, but she's too young for you and, besides, you just don't have the history! well, here's a film you loved all those years. all these characters have entered the popular consciousness in a way no movie has achieved probably since casablanca. the dialog is dumb, the plot is achingly simple - good vrs evil, with no shading whatsoever - but it works so well. it all comes together to make a legend. so forget episodes I - III. it was always going to be impossible to follow up the original trilogy. our expectations were too high. we had too long to think for ourselves what these new films should look like. forget them and go back to this magnificent beginning.

Rating: Summary: star wars goes scifi Review: i like the star wars episode 4 as well with luke skywalker and han solo are great all the actors are great
Rating: Summary: The same movie with new elements. Review: I was fairly happy to hear that there was going to be another Special Edition release, I still own the THX version from 93 and skipped on getting the Special edition the first time around, if you own the Special edition already, then i suggest that you wait for the DVD but for those of you like me who own an older version or none at all get this video, plus you also get the exclusive Ep.II footage, or at least i heard that would be on it.
Rating: Summary: Excellent! Review: I am so happy that the starwars movies are being released again. I have been trying to get a copy. You can't get one anywere. Nowonder they have been released so meny times, they are always running out.
Rating: Summary: Greatest Trilogy Of All Time Review: Like other people I want to see the original trilogy on DVD as well, but I gladly welcome the re-release of the trilogy. Star Wars fans need to add this to their collection. From the death star destruction to the celebration on Endor, it was like I was a little kid all over again. I already have mine reserved and I will also be the first in line when it comes out on DVD. Thank you Lucas!
Rating: Summary: DVD ? Review: 3 days before x-mas someone broke into my house and among the things were stolen was my favorite film "Star Wars Special Edition Widescreen Episode IV". I ended with the other 2 episodes and no luck finding the widescreen version anywhere, not even for auction! But my thirst will be taken care soon. The thing I don't get is why not DVD? I mean come on ! Is it that George Lucas don't have any more room in his vault for more millions worth of dvd sales ? You're gonna need a bigger boat / vault! Get it? I saw that AMAZON.COM has already listed for "wanna have dvd's" the trilogy but no street date yet. Common don't tease us like that ; this isn't A NEW HOPE for dvd owners. I just can't understand why some people and companies refuses to get millions now instead of some day... just like what happened with Quantum Leap. The Lee Harvey Oswald episode is not out yet? Why? Anyway double thumbs up for the Star Wars Saga but until we brake the barrier of your VCR chewing your favorite film and not been able to get another one the dvd is like the matrix....... some people get hook and are not ready to be unplugged. The VHS release is welcome and I'll buy it but what we all really want is the DVD episodes IV, V, VI.
Rating: Summary: Good News Review: Even though they released the Special Edition on VHS in August of 1997, it was only available for 90 days or something close to that. With the release of Episode I last year there were probably tons of people who rushed to the video store to buy a copy of the original trilogy only to find that it was out of print. Therefore, I'm sure there are people out there who are happy to see this set being made available in November. Also the added bonus of Episode II footage is sure to please anyone who purchases this set. And for everyone who is screaming for a DVD set of these fine films, don't worry, Lucasfilm has stated that it's on the way. Better later than never.
Rating: Summary: The More Than Special Edition Review: In this version, we get to see Uranus. We get to see the "Alabama" footage of Luke and Leia scrogging before George decided to make them brother and sister. Not to mention the 5 minutes of George Lucas's spare tire neck flapping on and on about how he finally feels just a tad bit more close to his original (peyote enhanced) vision and how Next year a re-re-re-release of this with 7 extra video frames of Boba Fett peaking behind Jabba's Hutt will be released. We also, as an extra added bonus get a 2% off coupon for the next re-re-re-release of this monstrosity which will happen in 2001. Yippee!
