Summary: THE Trilogy(what else needs to be said!)
Review: The Star Wars trilogy is three of the most entertaining movies ever.The good vs.evil plot is excellent,the special effects are spectacular(I personally think they're just as good as most of today's computer generated ones),and the soundtrack by John Williams is one of the very best.You just can't help but like the three main charactors,and,of course, Darth Vader is probably the best screen villain ever.While I also enjoyed Star Wars Episode I,it just isn't in the same class as these three.If anyone out there who has seen episode I hasn't seen these three,(not likely!)YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE MISSING!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another comes to the holy grail of videos.
Review: I've had a copy of the re-re-re-release classic movies, namely the 1990's movie (the evil formatted copy). Then saw the real version on the scifi channel, the widescreen, with comentary from Billy De Willams and making of each film. Went to see the 20th anniversary release in the theatres for a dozen times and was blown away. Bought the only version out there, the widescreen version of the special editions. I'm going to buy the another release of these movies in widescreen, with a making of episode two.

The only way you could ever truely enjoy these classic movies is in widescreen and not in the evil version. Space is a pretty big place and is wasted on watching Star Wars and any other space movie formatted. It's the only way to hear John William's wonderful classic scores, the THX sound quality and Dolby Digital Sorround Sound. To see the battle in widescreen feels like your in the movie, to see it formatted is a waste of time and money. But to see it on DVD is truely would be a treat and I'll buy twelve dozen copy's. I'm thinking about purching a DVD player and buy only DVD movies.Star Wars DVD would be placed in special place and would be the Holy Grail of my movies.

P.s. I want Star Wars in DVD.

Summary: A Masterpiece!
Review: When I first saw the movie "Star Wars" I was like "wow"! Who would of known that the next 2 would be as good as it. Usually when a sequel is created from a movie, it is almost never as good as the first, but George Lucas managed to pull it off. Take this for instance- If you were watching A New Hope right now, not knowing when it was made, when would you guess that it was made? It was so far ahead of its time, a 1977 movie!! The movie is suspenseful! It was very clever in the Death Star trench scene. Never have I seen a better ended movie. George Lucas took what he had and turned this movie into one of the most popular movies of all time. You don't need a movie run by computers to make a great movie. This is one of my favorites! If you are into science fiction, this movie is for you!

Summary: Star Wars trilogy.. a cult classic
Review: The Star Wars trilogy.. one of the most known sci-fi movies ever, are released as a enchanted VHS -edition. This Lucas's re-release ( better picture quality, better sound quality, enchanted special effects and few new scenes ) makes few questions:

1) First these special editions were meant to be only teathrical, to get Star Wars back to movie screens. Why change plans and release them on VHS tape?

2) Is it a good thing to mess with a classic ( because someones like the "old" feeling of movies, so it shares opinions: do star wars have better atmoshpere as old classics than new enchants? )

I think this release is perfect. I've always loved Star Wars and always will. Producing Episode 1 sounded like a good plan first, but then when I saw it I was disappointed. Why they did everything with computer? Why characters became so flat? Why did it have so weak plot? Why Darth Maul was the only cool thing? Why Jar-Jar? So only ep 2 and 3 can save the first one. If they're gonna be as bad as ep1, I say that Lucas should have left the Star Wars subject and leave it as a classic.

But buy this before watching ep1, because you'd see the "dark-emotionless-computer-effects" side of SW...

This bears old memories back and brings heavy emotions on screen.. and the actors are GOOD!

Summary: We want Star Wars on DVD!
Review: The Star Wars movies are the greatest movies of all time. It's a shame that it's only available on the worst of all formats, VHS. George, release the darn movies on DVD! Then later on, you can re-re-re-re-release the Super Duper Special DVD Edition.

Summary: Vader, lightsabres, the force, millennium falcon, R2-D2.....
Review: Star Wars has everything you could possibly want in a film. The story is set amidst a battle of good against evil, the plucky and righteous forces of the republic versus the evil and sadistic forces of the empire. The good guy is a young good looking dreamer who just wants to join the battle for democracy, while the bad guy is a black clad half-human half-robot with dark powers, and with the classiest face mask you've ever seen! It's got a love triangle, sword play, dog fights in space, humour, torture, a great escape, old enemies fighting to settle an ancient score.... it just goes on and on!

But on top of all this stuff of classic stories, it's also a great science fiction story, with dorky robots, exploding planets, lightsabres, spaceships, big furry aliens, not to mention the deathstar and the force!

Star Wars was the first really big science fiction film, and led the way for all the other great sci-fi that came along in it's wake. Just think of Terminator, Alien, Close Encounters, Predator, Jurassic Park, not to mention the resurgence of Star Trek and the resultant flood of sci-fi on tv. Star Wars made sci-fi into a marketable commodity, and boy did it take off in a big way! It's not often you can point to a specific turning point in popular culture, but that's exactly what Star Wars was.

But for me, though, it was the first film I saw in a cinema, a present for my tenth birthday. Perhaps it's a bit wimpish to call it magical, but that's what it was! Everything was so cool! A couple of things really stood out though. Light sabres - surely the coolest weapon ever. Darth Vader - a baddie you could really sink your teeth into, all that black leather, the cape, the mask, the voice. Wow! R2-D2 - a robot's robot, cute, funny, but clever and steadfastly loyal. Suddenly, every kid was covering cardboard tubes with tinfoil and having mock battles, or else breathing funny and trying to strangle people by pure force of will, or maybe just whistling and tootling a lot! I was already reading science fiction by then, but to see it come alive on the screen, so realistic, the effects so good (they still look good even now), the story so interesting, it was just a dream come true!

Star Wars is an excellent film, a classic of science fiction. The effect it had on popular culture, and especially on science fiction in the cinema and on tv, will never be surpassed. If you haven't seen it by now, well it's not too late. Watch, and prepare to be a kid again.

Summary: Still the best!
Review: I was just a lttle kid when these films came out, but even then, they had a huge impact on my life. I knew I was a part of a cultural phenomenon. Nothing has changed as an adult, except that I am more aware of their impact on society. The stories of the Star Wars trilogy are humorous, fanciful, and compelling. You can not help but be spell bound while watching these films. And despite what many believe, you do not have to be a sci-fi fan to enjoy them.Everything you could want is included: romance, drama, heroric battle, humor... it's just an adrenaline rush to watch these movies. You will love it... they are still the best... Phantom Menace was excellent, but nothing will compare to thes three masterful epics!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST MOVIE AFTER STAR WARS EPISODES 4,5,6
Review: Star wars is one of the best movies ever produced.Its not the special effects,which by the way are excellent,its not the fights that make this movie cool.Its the whole story from Lucas that keeps you alert watching the movie.Its a complex of different cultural and religions ideas that make this movie unique.If haven't watched that movie,watch it and if have watched that movie buy it so you can watch it again and again

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Can't Say Enough in a 1,000 word limit for this Review
Review: I could go on and on...and for those who know me really do know that I could talk for hours about how much I love these movies. I find myself thinking, "out of the three, which do I like best?" I still can't decide, and perhaps I shouldn't. They all are great, "A New Hope", "Empire Strikes Back", "Return of the Jedi." There's something more to it than the special effects, the interesting creatures, the space battles. I love every aspect, but what makes me enjoy these movies so much is the story. Everything was so well thought out with the story of each character, their life growing up, how they got together, their relationships, (like Vader and Luke, Luke and Leia)and how they all ended to be. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good sequel of movies to watch. The only problem is, is that you spend an average of $40 for the trilogy, and then they come out with another box set three years later...but you all ready have the movies, but you want the box the next set comes it. For true collectors you know what I mean. I don't want to buy the same movie twice. I think they should just sell the boxes for people like me, but that's fine. I'm still excited for them to come out in a few months. Star Wars is a true classic, for this generation and many to come. Who can forget? "No, I am your Father." Or... "I am a Jedi, like my father before me."
