 Another Re-hash From the Flim-Flam Man Named George Lucas November 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you buy this DVD set you will get both the original Star Wars movies and their re-mastered versions. Unfortunately, you will not get the special edition versions (that version has probably been incinerated) that were Lucas' first attempt at editing his magnum opus. Also, the original versions of the film have not been cleared up in any way. I don't mind that so much because I actually like watching a movie that has a movie feel to it (audiences today have been ruined by expecting perfection and have absolutely no taste for atmosphere). The real problem with this set is that there is no new material here. It was all released just two years ago. This DVD set is just another attempt by Lucasfilm to cash in. They are one company that is excellent at getting people to buy the exact same thing of something they already have.
The only reason to buy this DVD set is if you don't own the original Star Wars trilogy on DVD. Otherwise, keep your cash and stop giving it to George until he offers something worthwhile.
 George Lucas - We Want Blu-Ray not this! November 18, 2008
Fantastic set if you do not own already on DVD. However, like most who have now purchased multiple versions of the DVD we are demanding that George Lucas WAKE UP and provide a blu-ray edition.
Not buying until we get remastered '77, '80', and '83 versions November 16, 2008

Memo to George Lucas: I am not buying any more of your movies until you give us the REMASTERED films as they were ORIGINALLY. Han shoots first. Hayden Christiansen's ghost does not appear at the end of ROTJ. The original nub nub Ewok music is put back into the film, and the original Jabba's Palace band music is restored, etc. etc. Get the picture? You can do it, George. And don't tell us that the original negatives for these films no longer exist, because I don't believe you. If you think you are going to keep me buying and rebuying and rebuying the same product over and over and over again, then think again, because I'm not coming along for the ride.
I repeat: As soon as you release the original 1977, 1980, and 1983 versions of the films AS THEY WERE ORIGINALLY - and they MUST be remastered - not grainy laserdisc transfers. Then, and ONLY then, can you have any more of my money.
Just give the fans what they want. Is that too much to ask?
 Original Release looks at Prequel Trilogy with inconsitant frowns. November 14, 2008

The original versions which are the bonus disk in every single one of the in this box set when watched Episodes 1-6 in the correct order, your better off watching the 2004 special editions that are the main feature because parts of the back story changed when seen in the Episode 3 during Patmie's funeral, they have done something to her body to make it look as if the "baby" died with her. Giving off the apperance that Anikan's son was dead along with wife, the Sith never look for them. They don't even know that Luke Skywalker is the son of Anikan Skywalker aka Darth Vader until that scene in Episode 5 when the emporor contacts Vader and if you have seen the unaltered versions and compare it to the new 2004 Speical Edition, the emporor is dum-founded that Anikan's son survived and that they where both decived by the Rebelian.
If your going to just watch episodes 4-6 then just watch the unaltered versions, but if you want to watch all 1-6, aside from Gretto shooting first and Jabba the Hutt, you'll be missing alot if you watch the Prequels then the original versions.
I can't wait until all 6 episodes are on Blu-Ray because when that time comes, maybe the original releases will be given the right level of attention that they haven't had since 1995.
Should be on Blu-Ray November 11, 2008

They should have released this on Blu-ray. To have fans wait and wait and wait to get old movies released on high quality media is a bit disgusting really. After all this time they are delaying the release to make folks buy multiple copies of old movies. It just smacks of greed. Very disappointing..
