Rushed out to buy when it was released

My 5 rating is for the filming-even with what I write below
Being a Star Wars fan since I saw the original February 1978 & a collector since August 1980 I rushed out to purchase this when it was released in 2004.
OK, I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SINCE I GOT IT. A POORLY PUT TOGETHER PACKAGE FOR THE SET. Who designed this? A pain to get in & out of. Silver or gold depending on wide or full screen. Looked boring to me.
Now, everyone has been & will continue to debate the changes to the films George made for the DVD package & when he did the “special editions” in 1997. Over all I like the changes in 1997. My favorite was to Empire EVEN THOUGH IN 2004 THOSE ADDITIONS I DID NOT LIKE. Just from what was done to the Bespin sets, windows, etc HATED the unnecessary line addition from Darth to the Emperor as was the unnecessary “Alert my Star Destroyer to prepare for my arrival”. Why did this need to be added George? Then, of course TAKING AWAY THE PERFECT VOICE FOR BOBA FETT BECAUSE OF THE STORY BEING EXPLAINED IN CLONES. Perfect voice taken away.
The 2004 version of Jedi with adding Hayden at the end. Did NOT like that at all. Nor the boring music at the end. I prefer “Lapti Nek” to “Jedi Rocks”.
Of course, George being George in 2005 & 2006 issued out other DVD releases of the original films. And, he will continue to do this over & over again.

The Force Is Strong With This One

Wow! A great DVD release of one of the greatest film trilogies of all time. George Lucas presents his epic sci-fi saga in stunning widescreen clarity. This movie pack includes the first three Star Wars movies, each with their own DVD, and a fourth disc brimming with special features., including a two-hour long documentary on the making of the Original Trilogy. No Star Wars fan's collection is complete without this set. Go out and get it today.
May the Force be with you... always.

Best Trilogy Ever

This has to be the best trilogy ever. The success of this trilogy started the fad of making trilogies. These movies are fantastic for all ages, and contain something for everyone. This is what movie making is all about, sitting back and being entertained by a fantastic story of fantasy and wonder. The action is great, the musical soundtrack is great, the combination is incredible! I highly recommend this trilogy to all... fans or not.

Great Collection

I just recently bought this collection for my daughter who is just getting into this trilogy. The video quality is very good for standard def. As a long time Star Wars fan, these are the only three movies as far as I'm concerend. The new ones are a mess, poorly acted, poorly written, POORLY DIRECTED, just a real shame. That makes the original trilogy seem that much better.

The original trillogy is just good no matter what. I was, however, dissappointed to see some of the meddling that had been done to these films for this release. The lasers look fake, and they have added extra 'creatures' that were not in the original and detract from the feel of the movies.

You have to have this collection if you were ever a star wars fan. I have the vhs set and the DVD goes so much further with extra footage.

Changing Art is Never a Good Idea

George Lucas again unnecessarily altering his once classic films, now turning what was once 'perfect' into something of a joke (the only thing I could compare it to would be like painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa). I do not recommend this set whatsoever, and any true fan of the films probably won't either.
