VHS Movie Reviews of Star Wars Trilogy (Special Edition) [VHS]
Movie Review: Star Wars Trilogy DVDs-original case-used but like NEW!
Summary: 5 Stars
We purchased the Star Wars Trilogy with bonus disc for our ten year old Grandson's birthday. He has just discovered Star Wars from T.V.! Although this item is no longer made new we got a wonderful case and the DVDs perform like new. He is so thrilled we bought from Amazon the new 3 disc prequel set of Star Wars for his Christmas. Thanks!Movie Review: Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition Widescreen
Summary: 5 Stars
These are the 1997 Special Editions in Widescreen. Most people hate these versions with a passion, but that is because they do not realize that the 2004 DVDs are different from these. These are the versions seen during the grand 1997 theatrical rerelease. The set consists of the silver Vader slipcase with three tapes housed inside. They have about 5 minutes of behind the scenes stuff at the beginning. These versions are only available on VHS and Laserdisc. I have a feeling that these 97 versions will never see the light of day on DVD. Movie Review: Star Wars: The way it should have been
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this set since it came out, so I decided to add my two cents on it. I know there are fans who hated the fact that Lucas changed things from the original, but I say what he did made them better. I like the way they look now, and it also helped them since he made the prequels. For me, it was awesome to see some my favorite movies from my childhood come back to the big screen and have things added and enhanced. I really thought the extras did the movies a great deal of justice and made them look better. It made them look less fake, and more real. So basically, you either like it or you don't. So if you don't like it, don't buy it, and let those of us who do like it, enjoy it. Movie Review: starwar dvd's

Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this DVD set knowing exactly what I was expecting, and only hoping it would be in good condition. When I received it I was impressed with how well the discs were maintained. I was also happy with how quickly they arrived and with how well packaged they were.
Summary of Star Wars Trilogy (Special Edition) [VHS]
The Star Wars trilogy had the rare distinction of becoming more than just a series of movies, but a cultural phenomenon, a life-defining event for its generation. On its surface, George Lucas's original 1977 film is a rollicking and humorous space fantasy that owes debts to more influences than one can count on two hands, but filmgoers became entranced by its basic struggle of good vs. evil "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away," its dazzling special effects, and a mythology of Jedi Knights, the Force, and droids.In the first film, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) gets to live out every boy's dream: ditch the farm and rescue a princess (Carrie Fisher). Accompanied by the roguish Han Solo (Harrison Ford, the only principal who was able to cross over into stardom) and trained by Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness), Luke finds himself involved in a galactic war against the Empire and the menacing Darth Vader (David Prowse, voiced by James Earl Jones). The following film, The Empire Strikes Back (1980), takes a darker turn as the tiny rebellion faces an overwhelming onslaught. Directed by Irvin Kershner instead of Lucas, Empire is on the short list of Best Sequels Ever, marked by fantastic settings (the ice planet, the cloud city), the teachings of Yoda, a dash of grown-up romance, and a now-classic "revelation" ending. The final film of the trilogy, Return of the Jedi (1983, directed by Richard Marquand), is the most uneven. While the visual effects had taken quantum leaps over the years, resulting in thrilling speeder chases and space dogfights, the story is an uneasy mix of serious themes (Luke's maturation as a Jedi, the end of the Empire-rebellion showdown) and the cuddly teddy bears known as the Ewoks.
Years later, George Lucas transformed his films into "special editions" by adding new scenes and special effects, which were greeted mostly by shrugs from fans. They were perfectly happy with the films they had grown up with (who cares if Greedo shot first?), and thus disappointed by Lucas's decision to make the special editions the only versions available. --David Horiuchi
