Boring
Time to move on, there is nothing special about this set. I loved Star Wars as a kid but now it's time for something new. I have the trilogy in my collection but still have to watch it...

A Groundbreaking Trilogy!
So nice... to have these classics on DVD.

But would you believe ... Lucas CHANGED the "effect" changes of the original special editions??? The added "Jabba the Hutt" scene now has a larger, more detailed Jabba! My Lord, the man is obsessed... he can't leave these films alone!

And yes, Han shot Greedo first. And he was justified in doing so... he knew the poorly constructed alien was preparing to kill him.

These films were "stage 2" in a revolution first introduced by "2001." They brought Sci-Fi into the blockbuster mainstream.

They are full of exceptional music, swashbuckling adventure and sympathetic characters.

But WHY does the original drag us along with droids for the first several scenes?

Some complaints would be in the writing... especially the dialogue. After winning a Tie Fighter battle in the original, Luke yells "We did it!" Much to my horror, Leah then yells the exact same sentence "We did it!"

Or in Jedi, Han tells Lando "Good luck... you're gonna need it." This old cliche would even feel tired in a comic book.

Of the three, I believe "The Empire Strikes Back" is the most entertaining, albeit disjointed experience. The humor is especially sharp... like the repeated failures to go to lights speed.

This version actually transplants pretty boy Hayden as the apparition of "Anakin" at the conclusion, but all in all it's not too annoying.

A great trilogy, not perfect but great.

I love it
Although this DvD set has gotten some poor reviews it shouldnt! The bonus disc has loads of cool documentaries, not to mention the fact that the movies have been fixed alot. I know the old school fans are most likely in a state of digust after the last comment but i truely believe that these dvds are better. Not having seen the original version of in the theatres and being captivated by that experience, the new effects are a relief. With all of the prequeals being released it was hard to sit down and watch the complete star wars series. The poor effects took away from the plot.....that the old star wars is set 20 years in the future. The new effects help with the reality of the films, and help connect the saga. Widescreen shots, and scope plays a large role in showing the viewer the full scope of the Star Wars Universe. The adding of Hayden Christianson to the RETURN of The JEDI also adds to completing the epic.
So if you arent obsessed with seeing the original old version of STAR WARS these are the movies for you.....
