SWEET
THIS is going to be an awesome set. I have watched star wars for a while now and I get more into it every time. If you loved Star Wars you'll love this. No one would give this less then 100 stars if it were possible. Best special effects from it's time. Includes 4 discs. The movies are "Episode IV A New Hope", "EMpire strikes Back", and "Return of the Jedi". All great. There is even a bonus disc and commentary on each movie. Please buy this to keep these movies alive forever.

The Star Wars Trilogy
This three-pack is a must have. It includes all the REAL "Star Wars" movies (the ones that tell the story of how Luke Skywalker gets to be a Jedi Knight, like his father), and by Episode VI all the loose ends are answered. Truly great cinema, with great special effects.
This three classics must not be missed!

THE Sci-Fi Fantasy Epic
The original Star Wars trilogy is easily the best live-action science fiction/fantasy epic series ever made (there are animated series which rival it but that's another story).

Just why did the movie Star Wars have such a profound effect on people around the world? Is it the amazing (espeically for their time) special effects? It it the astounding music score (which I personally consider the greatest in any film ever)? Or is the perfect casting, great cinematography and classic wild-west in the distant past/future that George Lucas created?

Personally, I think it is the classic story of the first three Star Wars movies that endears it to people everywhere. I can recall being entranced by the story when I was five or six, and I've seen A New Hope so many times now that I know every line by heart pretty much. Yet the story never gets old.

If you've ever read Dune or Lensman or any of the other classic sci-fi stories of the golden age of sci-fi you probably knew the story before you even saw the movie. A young boy dreams of becoming a great warrior and defeating the evil wizard with his dark armies while saving the beautiful princess. In this age of reality tv and super-violent entertainment that glorifies senseless violence, some people may think that the values portrayed in Star Wars are a bit outdated. I personally think they will never be outdated.

When I was growing up I wanted to BE Luke Skywalker. Why? Because I think on some level everyone goes through the same spiritual journey he does. At the outset of our story he's young and idealistic, believing in absolute good and evil, and willing to sacrifice his life for love, honor, and a noble cause. As the story progresses he grows up and finds that the universe doesn't quite work the way he tought it did. His own father turns out to be his worst enemy, and consequently there is evil within himself that he must face.

But episode 4 begins with Luke on his farm world and ends with his first victory against the evil Darth Vader (before we knew he was his father). At heart this movie is about good triumphing over evil, and trusting in something bigger than yourself to give you the power to conquer evil. It's still my favorite Star Wars movie and a classic in every way.
