 This made a "Star Wars" fan very happy! June 3, 2008
This dvd made a great gift! I gave it to my boyfriend who's a big "Star Wars" fan. The only likes the original versions, so this made the perfect gift. He was so happy to finally be able to watch the original " Star Wars" movies on our flat screen tv in widescreen format.
You Must Learn The Ways Of The Force" ~ The George Lucas "Empire" Begins May 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Released in '77 `Star Wars' was the movie that launched the George Lucas Dynasty and mega merchandising empire, the film that gave us; The Force, Jedi Knights and light sabers. For those additions into the sci-fi lexicon I say, "Thank-you George Lucas." Let me also say that I was not then or now one of those avid lovers of the `Star Wars' films. The only aspect of the storyline that really captured my interest was the Jedi Knights with their mystical connection to "The Force' and the extraordinary powers that come by utilizing it.
Looking at the original version now 31 years later it appears obviously dated (as would be expected) and a little overly comedic for my personal tastes. However with or without my consent the legacy of this film cannot be denied. The iconic images of Luke Skywalker and Hans Solo, the John Williams soundtrack and much of the dialogue and robotic sound effects have become so imbeded in our consciousness that they instill comfort and assurance when viewed or heard. That alone makes this film worthy of a -5 Star- rating.
All 9 Episodes Available On DVD Now ! May 21, 2008
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
I am glad to finally have the original 3 episodes (4,5 and 6) on dvd now- even though there aren't superior quality.
George Lucas has declared that there will not be anymore Star Wars episodes/movies because it is too time consuming, too much trouble, and perhaps because he has run out of ideas? Anyway, I have declared the following 9 episodes to now be the official complete set in the chronicle series and regardless of what anyone says, it cannot and will not be changed. Ever. Or until George Lucas gets back on his medicine and off his high horse, and realizes he has failed in presenting the complete 9 episodes he promised years ago, and makes amends by giving us the last trilogy we deserve. We need closure and so here it is:
1. The Phantom Menace (1999) - Episode One
2. Attack Of The Clones (2002) - Episode Two
3. Revenge Of The Sith (2005) - Episode Three
4. A New Hope (1977) - Episode Four
5. The Star Wars Holiday Special (aka Life Day Celebration)
(Nov. 1978) - Episode Five.
(Face it, this tv special featured the same characters from the
series- Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fischer, R2D2, C3PO,
Chewbacca, etc., and it isn't some lame cartoon, and actually has
a plot- therefore, it is part of the continuing storyline.)
6. The Empire Strikes Back (1980) - Episode Six
7. Return Of The Jedi (1983) - Episode Seven
8. Ewoks Adventure: Caravan Of Courage (1984) - Episode Eight
9. Ewoks Adventure: The Battle For Endor (1985) - Episode Nine
(Both of the Ewoks movies were originally shown on tv, and are
now available as a 2-on-1 dvd. If they played such a big part
in Return Of The Jedi, then why can't these 2 movies be part of
the continuing story line? They aren't lame cartoons, they both
have plots, and therefore, must be accepted as episodes 8 and 9.)
There really is no point in making Star Wars a tv series (in place of giving us the real last trilogy set) because we already have a Star Trek,
Stargate, and Battlestar Gallactica. So I declare the above list of 9
episodes to now be the official set of 9 in the chronicle series and it cannot and will not ever be changed. So take that George Lucas! :P

I purchased this DVD in order to get the origanl release copy of the movie. I like this DVD I just wish it had the extras on it. I can't understand why it wouldn't come with the extras. Shame on George Lucas and FOX studios for this oversite.
