Movie Reviews of Star Wars Trilogy (Widescreen Theatrical Edition)
Movie Review: BEST MOVIE EVER
Summary: 5 Stars
The Star Wars trilogy began in 1977, and after over 30 years it continues to be a pop culture icon. George Lucas' mastery of storytelling and special effects has changed the way movies are made. From space battles in the middle of nowhere to dramatic lightsaber battles between father and son, the special effects are like none that had ever been seen before, and inspiring everything that we see today. Not only has he changed the way movies are made, he has also changed the way movies are watched. Before Star Wars, movies were all thought provoking emotional dramas that tied you to the protagonist. Lucas changed that by taking the focus off of the heroes and putting the focus on the story as a whole. With action drama, and romance, it is a perfect mixture of cowboys and aliens, or as Lucas likes to call it, a "space opera." George Lucas has created movies that continue to inspire and provoke fans and critics alike. From parodies to festivals, and video games to action figures, Star Wars has created a legacy that has yet to fade from history.Movie Review: Luke, I'm you Father!!

I love this set!!!! I am not a StarWars fanatic, but I am a fan. My little brother and I watched the first one 6 times and would have gone a hundred more if our parents hadn't put their foot down. I am that generation. You can't mess with perfection which is why I wanted this set. I wanted the versions I saw in the theater, before George hacked them up and tried to make them better. You can't, you shouldn't!
Would you redo Gone With the Wind? "Frankly my dear, I really give a damn"
Or Casablanca? "Are you ready Ilsa?" "No, I'm not, I'm coming with you!"
No, you wouldn't dare!! ;P
Here you get the first 3 movies in all their cinematic glory along with the versions that George messed up. It actually is nice to have both so that you can compare. What you get is basically the first 3 films as they were released individually as limited edition 2 disc sets, but all in one box!!! These are classics and need to be in EVERY video library in America.
Enjoy and may the force be with you!!

I love the old Star Wars trilogy. I don't understand why so many people who say they love these films hate the restored versions. Sure, Han shot Greedo first but c'mon people the restoration is beautiful!! "A New Hope" looks like it came out yesterday and "The Empire Strikes Back" looks gorgeous! Thank God they took out all the matte lines and cleaned the original celluloid copy up immensely!! I mean, i too like the original version from 1977 so guess what? i bought the limited edition dvd with the original version. LUCAS GAVE IT TO US ALREADY, MORONS!!!!! even thought it's more grainy than the SE at least it's the original. People complain that it's not cleaned up like the SE but Lucas never promised that! IT'S YOU THAT'S BEING SELFISH NOT HIM! You wanted to remember it the way it was released, well there it is. Thanks Lucas for making dreams come true. Thank you George Lucas for keeping it up to date!! I wish more movies would to this, just like "Blade Runner: The Final Cut" did. You're the man Lucas!!!Movie Review: The un-altered Original Trilogy... it's about time guys!

I know a lot of folks are deeply upset that Lucasfilm put out the 2004 Original Trilogy, which included even more changes than the Special Editions of the late 90's, and then later made a new boxset with the un-tampered-with films, knowing that Star Wars enthusiasts like myself would not be able to say no. True, but I just sold my 2004 boxset and my individual Prequel films, and opted for these two new sets, which take up much less space, and look fantastic in any DVD collection. It's nice to see the "correct" snow cave scene in TESB, and enjoy the "true" Jabba's dancer scene, not to mention the absolute superiority of the original Return of the Jedi ending. None of the SE or 2004 changes were necessary - the only possible exception being the hologram scene featuring Ian McDiarmid, which I do enjoy. But if you prefer the new revisions, those films are also included. You still get beautiful menu screens and nice covers, although more extras never hurt anyone!Movie Review: Lucas' Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
Forget the "prequels", these are the films to watch. These were the films that ignited a science fiction craze that continues over three decades later. Good vs Evil, heroes and villains and a heroine with spunk. Robots that elicit humor and incredible battle scenes and deep human emotion. Lucas can retouch them with new and better sfx but the basic wonderful films are there. For me the best will always remain THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. A must for any sci-fi library. Funny when you realize this came about because Lucas couldn't get the rights to do FLASH GORDON !!! Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Lia, Obi Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader ... classic characters for the ages. A Young Man who becomes a Man and goes the path his Father could not follow. A star wandering rogue who grows to be a hero. An Evil Villain who, in the end, finds his humanity. It doesn't get much better than this.
