 Amazing films! Spectacular Quality! A wonderful and essential DVD experience! January 26, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
THE STAR WARS movies are amazing. The sheer imagination that went into them is spectacular. The original film, A NEW HOPE, topped the charts in '77 and is still, today, the 2nd highest grossing movie of all time, and with good reason. The original STAR WARS trilogy is one of the top three trilogies of all time, and are a must-see for the whole family.
The bonus disc: This bonus disc is the best bonus disc I've ever seen. The main feature, a documentary called EMPIRE OF DREAMS, is spectacular. It's the greatest, most comprehensive look at the making of these magical films. The documentary is accompanied by 4 15-20 minute featurettes, trailers, stills, ect.
The films:
A NEW HOPE: The film that started it all. It's amazingly acted, directed, and the script is engrossing. It's really hard to discribe all three of these films, and that's really all I can say about this one. You have to see it to believe it.
THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK: This film has to be one of the greatest sequels of all time. Most sequels to successful movies are just rehashes of the original, the work of a director trying in vain to recreate a masterpiece. EMPIRE is one of few exceptions. This sequel carries on the fight of the brave Rebels against the evil Empire. Things go darker this time around, though it's not hellish like the second INDIANA JONES film. The heroes lose a lot, and it leaves you hopeful that things will get better, though wondering how that could ever happen.
THE RETURN OF THE JEDI: This might be one of the greatest climaxes of all time. Great fights, chases, heroes and villains, and weird aliens, like the furry little Ewoks. Everyone reprises their role (thankfully), and you finally get to see the Emperor himself, and trust me, he doesn't disappoint. This is a great wrap-up to the amazing trilogy.
The quality: George Lucas adds to his visual stunning in this trilogy with new second-long shots of aliens and enhanced picture. This really ticks some people off, but I think it adds to the films without really changing much.
Overall:
Great! I recieved this box set a few years ago, and have simply adored it since. If you're a STAR WARS fan, this set is a must-own. And if your not a big fan, even if you don't buy this set, you should still watch the movies. Highly reccommended.

OK, yes, Lucas added a whole slew of new stuff to the oroginal films. So what? I thought it was really kinda neat, some of the things that are in there! Truthfully, the only time in the first film that newness was even that obvious was the scene before the take-off from Mos Isley, where Jabba accosts Solo for money. That was obviously CG, but it didn't look that bad. Lucas brought us films that essentially revolutionized film and the way we look at them. What was there before Star Wars? I've read a lot of bad reviews because of the new cg effects, but cut the guy a little slack! He lost a lot to make these movies to begin with... Let the man have his fun with his films! Before you bite into the cg bashing that's been going on, see them for yourself. If you're a lifelong, die hard fan, remember how open your mind was when you first saw them. Relive the experience!
I got this as a gift for my sister and she absolutely loved it! The box was a little bent in at the corners, but there was nothing wrong otherwise. Just a packaging goof, I'm sure.
May the Force be with you! December 31, 2007

Every Star Wars fan desires to have some memorabilia that will help remind them of the good ole days. What better piece than the movies themselves (with added bonuses). Here are the shows that started us all on a voyage through good and evil whether we will give in to the Dark Side or triumph as great Jedi Knights. One to own!
