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.

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...

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.

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: 5 stars
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: 4 stars
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: 5 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
