Summary: WAITING FOR THE DVD VERSION !
Review: It has been said that after Star Wars III has been released (May, 2005) George Lucas will release all six films on dvd in a big box set(7 discs total, 1 for bonus footage). This will not happen til 2007. It'll probably be a $99.00 retail. But I went out and bought a dvd recorder and made all three films on dvd disc. The quality was way better than the original vhs tape. So I guess It'll be worth the wait...

Summary: May the Force Be With You
Review: I am by means a science fiction fan. Not at all. But even I can appreciate the genius of the Star Wars Triology. It is a morality tale extraordinare. it is a vision of the future. It is comedy, drama, adventure. It is all these things and more. George Lucas wrote all three movies at once, on paper longhand. Yes, that's right. Amazing, isn't it? Worth seeing just for that small fact alone. Sheer genius. Definitely something not to miss--AND to see again.

Summary: Best sci-fi series? Can't think of any others as fun.
Review: Star Wars: A New Hope-A highly enjoyable beginning to the saga, this is easily the most light-hearted and accessible film of the trilogy. Taking place in a galaxy far away, young Luke Skywalker is suddenly propelled into a galactic adventure against the Empire when he encounters two droids that bear an urgent message from Princess Leia, leading Luke to Obi-Wan Kenobi and pilot Han Solo. Little do they know they'll be in a battle not only for their own lives but for the freedom of the galaxy! Star Wars is first-rate escapist entertainment, with plentiful action sequences and high-tech visual effects. Unfortunately, much of the dialogue, quite truthfully, reeks and the acting is only somewhat better (Only Harrison Ford and Alec Guinness really impress).
****/*****

The Empire Strikes Back-This superior sequel to Star Wars boasts a more complex and imaginative plot that bears plenty of intrigue and mystery (we get the first glimpse of Darth Vader's head, Yoda speaks of "another" hope), far superior special effects, and confident performances from almost the entire cast. Director Irvin Kershner crafts some of the series' most memorable action sequences, including the battle on ice planet Hoth and the climactic lightsaber duel between Luke and Darth Vader. The story separates into two threads, so the pacing isn't quite as consistent as the original. The storyline following the Millenium Falcon is much more interesting and faster-paced than Luke's quest to become a jedi, but the latter story is just as vital.
**** 1/2/*****

Return of the Jedi-Long hailed as the weak link of the series, ROTJ boasts lots of rousing action sequences, terrific special effects, and decent performances, but little else. The cliffhangers in Empire Strikes Back are lazily resolved and the continuing story is fraught with head-scratchers. What exactly George Lucas was thinking when he included the Ewoks is beyond me, they're probably the trilogy's worst idea, period. As cute eye-candy, they serve their purpose but they should have been kept in the background. The battle of Endor Moon is cringe-inducing, with spear-toting teddy bears defeating high-tech imperial infantry troops with rocks and arrows. If the special edition should have made any changes, it would have to be excising these teddy bears altogether!

Summary: A whole new mythic world as well as great movies
Review: Star Wars are not just great movies - though I still remember the thrill of seeing the first one 25 or so years ago (I am that old....). But they are a whole new, exciting mythic world, an alternative universe, but with the same battles between good and evil, tyranny and freedom, as our own. This new edition enables us to enjoy them even more than before - transport yourself to a distant galaxy a long time ago and enjoy!

Summary: classic scifi
Review: Star Wars set the new bench mark for scfi film making previously held by 2001: Space Odyssey. This basically an action packed trilogy about good vs evil. The story is centered around Luke Skywalker who is drafted by obi won kenobi to recue princess Leia. Luke is trained to be a Jedi by Obi Won and Yoda. There are many classic monents such as blowing up the death star. Luke finds the power within him to do this task. THe movie consists of fantastic creatures and fantastic music by John Williams This is pure hollywood magic in which a small farm boy grows up to save the universe.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is where it all started.
Review: Before the Matrix, before Indiana Jones, there was George Lucas's Star Wars. You can tell it's hugely ambitious right away, with the announcement "Epiosde IV", which told people that they were starting in the middle of things. The first sequence is a great space battle. What makes this so special is that it's a Greek Myth told in sci-fi terms (Perseus rescuing Princess Andramada). The bad guy is the evil wizard Darth Vader. The hero is farmer Luke Skywalker, who gradually becomes aware of his great destiny to become a Jedi. It is a simple, almost innocent, tale of good triumping over evil that makes it so timeless and enduring.
