Summary: FINALLY
Review: After a long long wait, we get one of motion pictures greatest series in an awsome box set that is worth any price. As you all know, Star Wars is one of movies best series and is the best Sci-fi series. The acting in these movies are unbeatable, the special effects are unbelievable and the action is superb. I don't know what the features will be like in this set, but I'm sure it will be good. I like R2D2. He's a cute little robot, that only C3-PO can understand. I don't know if the first 2 in the star wars saga are really worth buying because there nothing no where near the other 3. Maybe the 3 star wars will be a good film. Who knows, we can only wait. Since the Indiana Jones trilogy was realesed on dvd, it's about time they realesed the star wars trilogy. The series will be in Widescreen and maybe we will get a Fullscreen box set for the people who like Fullscreen better. We'll just have to wait and find out.Star Wars Episode 4- This is may second favorite of the series including the first 2. It has great acting and action mixed in with some slick humor that makes a perfect movie. Ofcoarse Luke Skywalker isn't a good Jedi yet, because he onlt started. He gets better in the later sequels.
10/10 Star Wars Episode 5: Return Of The Jedi- This is an awsome movie, but some how didn't have the magic of episode 4. It was still a great movies with good acting skills, but some how it lacked on the action. That's the wat it seemed for me. I still loved it.
9/10 Star Wars Episode 6: The Empire Strikes Back- This is my favorite out of the whole entire series. It had awsome acting, lots of action and tons of humor. Mix all that together and you got Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. This is an awsome movie and is one of my favorite movies of all time.
10/10
So don't wait, order this set, NOW.

Summary: Finally!!
Review: This movie was made for dvd with the heart pounding musical score to the great sounds of the light saber battles and laser shots. I had a friend who hasn't seen any of the 5 movies and she asked should she see the movies in order, the answer is a resounding NO!! Star Wars - A new hope is the reason we all wore chewy t-shirts and c3po lunch boxes...A true fantasy of good vs evil with wonderfully developed characters. I believe the stregnth of this movie is due to our ability to be these characters..that is what is lacking in most movies these days...It was a fantasy that I and You and everyone can relate too...We did relate to these characters so we didn't just watch, we were right along with them for the ride of our lives.

Summary: Great movie, bad DVD
Review: In an era when we are getting great DVDs for many films with different versions available (think Abyss and the Alien 9 disk series) it is a shameful that perhaps the greatest Sci-Fi movie ever made is not available in its original version, only in the director's cut. Whether or not you like this version better, the lack of availability of the original is a crime to any film lover.

Summary: It's about time.....but
Review: I like many StarWars fans couldn't wait for the original trilogy to come out on dvd. However, I think both versions of the films should be released and just not the Special Editions. I loved the original version of Return of the Jedi and the Special Edition takes the darkness mytery out of the Jabber the Hut scene. I mean the scene with creatures perforrning there is now turned into annoying cgi musical number. It's just goofy and doesn't belong in a scene that is meant to be dark and mysterious. Well Lucas obviously didn't think it was meant to stay that way. The new score at the end of the Return of the Jedi as well, I think is really bad and I miss the original score. Lucas is too much into effects and todays technology. Mean look at the prequels, if he put more time into the scripts and less into the visuals, the movies might compare with the original movies. Anyway I think the original movies were fine before the special editions. Ok the Jabber the hut and Han Solo scene that was added to the original in entertaning. Some other changes like the ones to Return of the Jedi are really bad though. I heard rumors that Lucas actually wants to make Special Special Editions now but I think he hacked his beloved trilogy to bits enough. I'm still gonna buy these dvd's, don't get me wrong but the original versions should be there as well. If anything needs to be hacked up to be made better.....it should be the prequels.

Summary: Needs to be reiterated
Review: Lucas made a terrible error in judgment when he decided to make his altered versions of the movie the ONLY versions available. The "last chance to buy the originals" campaign years ago translates into "no-new-dough" for Lucas this time around. I'm 32, saw Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back in theaters about ten times each. Those movies were so exciting and fresh... it's a shame that Lucas won't leave these gems alone, or at least give us viewers a choice. But really, it's not THAT big of a shame. We do have choices in the form of other entertainment that truly does leave this series in the dust at this point.

Summary: Not so special editions
Review: I would be more excited if these were not the special editions. The additional scenes are interesting but making Greedo such a terrible shot instead of Han beating him to the shot like in the old west is just terrible. Much like Spielberg's editing out guns and putting in walkie talkies for the government agents in ET, this revisionism of classics is almost like Ted Turner's colorizing Casa Blanca. It's a shame we weren't given the option of both versions, like ET.

Summary: The holy grail of movies finally arrives to DVD!
Review: What can I say that hasn't been said about these films?! These films are fantastic for people of any ages. They have some of the most beloved characters in movie history. I don't want to start an editorial review of all the films, but I do think they are all worthy of 5 star reviews. I for one want to give my 2 cents on the Special Edition vs. Original Trilogy (77-83 versions). I like the changes made in the special editions, I think they are breathtaking. But I have been a fan for a long time, I do disagree with Mr. Lucas's decision not to release the theatrical versions along with the Special Editions, I believe they are a part of history that should be preserved. Nevertheless I will buy the set the first day the set comes out because these are fantastic movies, special edition or originals!

Summary: No Original Trilogy - No Sale.
Review: Too bad that you have to give one star - I would love to give this release zero stars.
There's no way I'm going to buy the so-called "Special Editions" of these movies. I could live with a set that included both the original and the bastardized versions - but if Lucas insists that the "SEs" are the only versions that will be released I'll have take very good care of my VHS copies of the Original Trilogy. It looks like they are going to be the only copies of these movies that I'll ever own.

Summary: One star - only because I can't choose zero stars
Review: I grew up with these movies. I remember being 6 years old and standing in line opening weekend to see the original Star Wars. To this day I can remember the excitement and hoopla the first film created. I, and my friends, helped make George Lucas a very rich man by going to see these movies multiple times and buying just about anything and everything we could get our hands on that had Star Wars on it. When the original versions of the films were released on VHS back in 1989 (I think) I purchased them and to this day I still have the occasional marathon where I will sit up all night and watch them back to back. I know there are some people who aren't Star Wars fans who might think this is a little nutty, but as I said, I grew up with these films and they hold a VERY special place in my heart. When the special editions of these films were released a few years ago I didn't go to see them. I had no reason to. I didn't particularly have anything against them, people update and make older versions of films "better" all the time...but the original versions of the film are generally still available. Same thing goes for when the SE versions were released on video. I never purchased them, nor have I even seen them. When the Phantom Menace was released I again stood in line to be able to be one of the very first people to see it. I was in the theatre at Midnight with 100s of other fans and nearly started crying when "A long time ago in a galaxy far far away..." came onto the screen. Unfortunately, by the end of the movie (actually, about 5 minutes into the movie), I was nearly in tears again because the thing was so god-awful bad. Actually, the movie really wasn't THAT bad...if it had just been released as a movie itself and there had been no originals, I think it would have been ok. But, seeing as though it was supposed to be the prequel to the originals and had so much to live up to, I (as well as just about anyone) thought it was vastly inferior to the originals. Same thing goes for "Attack of the Clones". Just horrible. I never purchased either film because although I'm a huge fan and felt somewhat "obligated" togo see them, I didn't enjoy them...and only saw each one once or twice. I've been waiting for years to get the original movies on DVD. When I heard some months ago they were to be released I could barely contain myself. Now, I'm learning that only the SE versions will be available and to make matters worse again...they have been tampered with AGAIN. So...they look even LESS like the originals do. Another film I grew up with was ET. I waited years to get it on DVD and when I did I wasn't disappointed. It had a newer "cleaner" version which is great to watch, but Steven Spielburg knew his fans and he also gave them what they really wanted...the original film...the film they grew up with. It's not that difficult to put two versions of a movie on DVD...it's done all the time. It seems as though George Lucas doesn't care what his fans think. He doesn't care that many of us gave up entire weeks of allowances to buy toys, costumes, books, etc. which all added to his wealth. By all accounts he's an extraordinarily greedy man, which is proven in the fact that he plans to release them yet AGAIN in three years...still, not in the original format. Just another ploy to get our money...again. I won't be buying this set of DVDs. I won't be going to see the latest installment of the series when it comes out. I am officially boycotting anything and everything this man touches. I'll take my money and go buy another copy of the original releases on VHS on Ebay and hang onto it for when my copies finally die. Maybe one day Mr. Lucas will come to his senses and release the originals. When he does I'll be the very first in line to buy two copies.

Summary: Have you been Jedi Mind Tricked Lucas? Issue the originals!
Review: Are you stark raving mad Lucas?!? Issue the original theatrical releases of these movies on DVD as well. If you don't, you'll be totally responsible for destroying your own Star Wars legacy! You'll be synonymous with Grand Moff Tarkin's comment to Darth Vader, "The Jedi are extinct, their fire has gone out of the universe. You, my friend, are all that's left of their religion." Personally I'm not buying these DVD's. Thankfully, I have my original Star Wars Trilogy Widescreen editions on Laserdisc. So I'm not as desperate as those with VHS tapes. But I promise you that if you don't release the originals, a lot of fans like me will not purchase your media again. [***], even your friend Spielberg released his original version of E.T. along with his special editions! So for the love of the Force, listen to your fans!
