Summary: Don't own a Laserdisc player? Get this Star Wars!
Review: Since George Lucas seems intent on waiting until completing his current trilogy of prequels before issuing the original "holy trilogy" on DVD, unless you own a LaserDisc player, this is the best Star Wars you can get. The box set includes on VHS each of the first three films--Star Wars, Empire, and Jedi--in the Special Edition versions re-released in theaters for the twentieth anniversary of this cultural phenomenon.Like or hate the updated effects and footage of the Special Edition films, the cleaned-up video and sound quality resultant from the restoration of the original prints are a necessity for the true Star Wars fan. Older versions of the films watched side-by-side pale in comparison, and televised, pan & scan versions cannot compare to the theatrical widescreen presentation. Simply watch for the Sand People scene in Star Wars when Luke says, "I can see one of them now," to see WHY films should always be presented in their original aspect ratios! Finally, what true Star Wars fanatic can be without even a single edition of the films? If you sleep on Jedi sheets, named your dog Boba Fett, or have a life-size cutout of Han Solo, these videos are required inventory for your collection!

Summary: The One And Only Episode - IV, A New Hope
Review: Episode III will bring it ALL together and not a microsecond too soon. I'm very impressed by the knowledgeable details that people have regarding the entire Star Wars saga to date but really they need to get a life. To be honest, I think I'm one of millions that truely enjoyed Episode IV, A New hope -augmented with episodes V,VI,I,II,& eventually III. But in my humble opinion none of them have ever come close to duplicating the pure magic of ANH. ANH was groundbreaking and revolutionary for it's time and Lucas should have a heart and release it in DVD for us old timers. OOHH, I know I'm gonna get slammed for this review but give me Episode IV, A New Hope anyday!

Summary: STAR WARS - A living legacy
Review: In the year 1977, director George Lucas laucnhed his brand new film throughout the world, unknown to him that it would soon become a classic. It was called "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope", and it brought the start of die-hard fans, and it soon, sequals were created. It's "Star Wars", one of the greatest films ever made! A long time ago, in a galaxy, far, far away, the Jedi Knights are an extinct race of saviors. Now, the Evil Galactic Empire and its Emperor are in control of the universe, and with their ultimate space station, the Death Star, they are invinsible. But with a band of heroes, a band of rebels and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) discover the the station's layout, but they were attacked by Darth Vader, an evil Jedi and the servent of the Emperor. To protect the layout plans, Leia has the droids R2-D2 and C-3P0 carry them to the desert planet Tattoine, where they can deliver it to an old friend of the Republic, Obi-Wan Kenobi, who can give it to the other rebels. But they were captured by creatures called Jawas, and sold to a man named Lars and his nephew, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamil), whose past is unknown to him. But when R2 runs away to deliver the message, Luke and 3P0 chase him into the desert, where they are attacked by Sand People. Fortunately, they bump into Obi Wan "Old Ben" Kenobi, who reveals to Luke that he is the son of a Jedi Knight. And that's where the adventure begins. With Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and a wookie named Chubacca (spelling?), they begin the journey to save the universe from the Emperor, while Luke begins his own journey to become a Jedi, as well as to redeem Darth Vader, who happens to be his own father, Anakin Skywalker! With memmorable lines, good storyline, and a cast of characters, this one is a classic - the work of a true genius (well, he once was). "Star Wars" belongs in the selves of movie fans, and it will forever be. Though the special effects are plain, the acting is great, far superior to it two (please let there be an improvement on the third) prequals, the acting is great. Like I said before, this is a classic! P.S. This concerns the original.

Summary: Not Overated, not OVERHYPED!
Review: The one and only classic STAR WARS! This is quite possibly the greatest movie ever made. Amazingly well written, good special effects, great acting, great costumes, and basically everything about this movie is perfect! I'm not even a Star Wars nut, and I think that this is the greatest movie ever made. I like it more than Lord of the Rings. I think it is more exciting to fly around in space and save the universe, and the lightsaber fights are always impressive and exciting, because you never know who will win. That is more exciting to me than just simply returning a ring to the place that it was made to destroy it and encounter some unforseen obsticles. This movie also keeps your attention from the very first frame, but Lord of the Rings drags in spots. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Lord of the Rings, but I'm being honest here. If you're thinking about buying this, I suggest you do so immediately! This is the GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME! Buy it today, and MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!

Review: I don't need to describe what the Star Wars Trilogy is, if your a Star Wars Fan, you KNOW what it is... THE BEST, period. But, I'm just hoping and waiting for the DVD version, since I'm playing this VHS's over and over, guess the tape will fail one of this days....

Summary: The best movies ever made
Review: What can I say? Star Wars defined what Science Fiction could be, and revolutionized the movie industry. Quality movie-making at its best! Not only does George Lucas give us an engaging story with fun characters, but he also presents us with an entire galaxy to explore! For those who are fortunate enough to have seen these movies on the big screen, Star Wars was a life-changing event for many. The trilogy has influenced television, books, games, stories, clothing styles and more (not to mention other movies), and is recognized by anyone who hears its title.

Summary: Unequalled
Review: There is no such thing as a better story than the Star Wars saga. The series is so intricately written that one can watch the movies over and over again and catch things that were missed before. "Star Wars" is, of course, a classic and set the stage for the other Star Wars films. "Empire Strikes Back" is perhaps even better than the first one, and examines the complex relationship between Luke Skywalker, his Jedi training, and Darth Vader, who finally reveals himself to be Luke's father, yet at the same time, his nemesis. Finally, "Return of the Jedi" which I saw as a kid in the theater (yeah, I'm old), which is okay, a good way to end the trilogy, yet sets the stage for possible future episodes. Anyone who likes Star Wars should purchase this trilogy as a boxed set, it is highly entertaining and a great value for the worlds most complex and interesting fiction.

Summary: DVD Requirements
Review: It seems that it's already obvious that it would be a waste of three exceptional films not to release the original Star Wars Trilogy on DVD. Sadly, this can't happen until after the release of 2005's Episode III, when George Lucas will have some free time to concentrate on it. Then, it will still take some time to put together the bonus materials (documentaries, trailers, cast interviews, etc.) that fans have been waiting for for over two decades. Also, the cover art would have to be slightly altered, to resemble the patterns of the Episodes I and II (and inevitably III) covers. That way, they'll LOOK more like a series of six movies, and not just two seperate trilogies.

Summary: Not until Episode III is out
Review: The original trilogy won't be released for DVD until after episode III comes out. It's rumored that George Lucas is shooting new scenes for the Original Trilogy and Episode IV- A new Hope is being rescored with the Imperial March in it, Natalie Portman also is going to have scenes in Episode VI- Return of the Jedi. So expect a huge FINAL six-part DVD release after Episode III leaves theatres, I can't wait!!!!!!!
