Summary: Keep this title in a safe place....will worth millions !
Review: Well, I want to say that this is the only saga that always added something more to the new episodes. The promises for the future releases are great so I expect to see something even more amazing, but in the meantime, buy this special edition. It's really a great improvement, especially if you have a good Home Theatre system...and may the force be with you..always

Summary: Best Movie Ever
Review: I should ask why I'm writing a review for a movie that every hard-core sci-fi buff should've seen, but I suppose I'm writing this for the other people out there. This is the best sci-fi saga ever. Buy it.

Summary: Excellent Set - A Star Wars fan should not be without one
Review: In addition to the excellent reworking of the original films by Lucas and Industrial Light, the videos each begin with some background interviews and inside looks at the special effect changes; what they wanted to do and how they did it. The copies are superb in color, detail and sound. A must have for Star Wars and Lucas fans.

Summary: Fun-loving Excitement filled w/ fab effects and exc. plot.
Review: From the moment I first saw Star Wars (Around 5 years old) I was hooked. I used to rent one of the three every single weekend and watch it over and over. And I'm still not sick of it. These movie's directed by one of the greatest directors of all time, George Lucas, are filled with explosive special effects, and an extremely thought out, thorough plot. These movies are so good they are almost hard to talk about in words. I am a huge movie buff I own about 60 movies, including the 3 Original Star Wars movies, the 3 THX enhanced movies, and this new Special Edition. Out of every movie I've ever watched these 3 were my favorite. You'll never regret buying these movies. END

Summary: Three Stars for the First Film
Review: If you weren't anywhere near the summer of 1977 it would be hard to really explain the excitement that the first STAR WARS film caused. I was 14, perhaps the best age to see it, and I completely fell in love with it. Of course, so did everyone else.
(By December, I was also completely sick of it and ready for the next great sci-fi film released that Christmas: CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND).I still think the first is the best, no matter how much tinkering George Lucas does with the special effects. THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK was good until it stopped. It did not end. It stopped. I remember being infuriated walking out of the movie in 1980. My sci-fi nerd buddies were ecstactic and I was asking, "How long do we have to wait now to find out what happens?"
Three years later came RETURN OF THE JEDI and I hated it. Harrison Ford's Han Solo, the most interesting character, took a backseat to adorable little furballs. I'll always remember watching JEDI in a theatre filled with little kids making the laser sounds and then walking out to see the toy store across the mall with piles of Ewoks and crap from the movie. A 2-and-a-half hour toy commercial that ends with the signature "yearbook photo" shot of everyone standing together, all smiles (even the bad guys return as happy ghosts to wave from the sidelines).
So I was pretty disillusioned with the FIRST three films by the early 1980's. (I saw THE PHANTOM MENACE in theatres. Snooze-fest. Caught part of ATTACK OF THE CLONES on HBO. Like the online newspaper parody, The Onion, said, it was "like C-SPAN from another planet." But I'll probably see the last one when it comes out, out of loyalty for the first film that entertained me in a lifetime far, far away....)

Summary: A Classic!
Review: I just recently purchased a DVD player and knew that the Star Wars Trilogy would have to be in my collection ASAP. Of course I've these three movies many, many times, but for some reason I never tire of seeing them again. The first one brings back many childhood memories (my brother had a Star Wars themed bedroom!) and it's comforting to put it on just to have as background noise when my apartment gets too quiet. I guess that is the true meaning of a classic movie - you love it so much that it becomes a part of yourself. The added interviews and such on this DVD were pretty insightful to me and the bonus disc of "never before seen" footage from making the three movies had me giddy with delight! I can't imagine anyone not wanting to have this set in their collection!

Summary: Must-Have DVD
Review: STAR WARS-A NEW HOPE(1977), THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK (1980) and RETURN OF THE JEDI (1983) are three of the greatest movies ever made. So its difficult to differentiate between them. The Battle of Yavin, AT-ATs on Hoth, Luke and Vader on Bespin and the destruction of the second Death Star are all among
the most memorable movie moments in history. Who could forget the sardonic smuggler turned-rebel alliance hero Han Solo and his faithful wookie companion Chewbacca. Or the whiny but heroic Luke Skywalker saving the striking Princess Leia and the accompanying droids R2-D2 and C-3PO on the death star. Throw in some tusken raiders, stormtroopers, an ageing jedi master, a dark lord, an unlucky rodian and you've got a great movie. Just like JAWS before it, John William's fantastic soundtrack adds so much to all three films that it becomes another character in the story.
George Lucas' incredibly detailed universe and its accompanying multitude of great characters make New Hope imminently re-watchable and timeless. A perennial favorite of most film buffs, what's not to like? The 'Special Edition' re-releases in 1997 added several impressive CG vistas and creatures, but the shots are sometimes jarring. No matter how compelling a story is, or how good the acting is, special effects will kill any scene they're used in if they're not up to scratch. Jabba the Hutt's conversation with Han Solo was in my opinion badly done, and Darth Vader and Obi-Wan's lightsabers weren't even touched. Thankfully, all the quibbles about the effects can now be forgotten, as the aforementioned scenes have all be rectified for this highly-anticipated DVD
release.
But SFX, 20-odd years of fan obsession and subsequent classic status aside, is NEW HOPE actually a good movie when you sit down and watch it? While its a good start to the saga, EMPIRE outranks NH in terms of action and character depth. JEDI is commonly regarded as the lesser of the three, however there are some great action scenes and the characters prove to be more likeable when they've all gone full circle; especially Luke, from quiet farmboy to powerful jedi. And the end lightsaber fight with Darth Vader and Luke is one of my favorites. Any film fan must own these classic films on DVD.
