Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential video: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great MoviesAs I'm quite sure you know the basic storyline of Star Wars, I am just reviewing the features of this set. I really enjoyed the quality of the remastered movies. I saw the special editions in the theater, but these include even more updates, such as character continuity with Anakin and Palpatine. I never owned the complete original series before (tho I've always been an avid fan), so I am happy with it. Rating: - My favorite moviesI love the original trilogy of Star Wars. It is far better than episodes 1, 2, and 3. And far more memorable. These will be around forever. Rating: - Good Service, good ProductThis set was purchased as a Christmas present last year and the gift was really enjoyed a lot. Rating:  - MOST OVER-RATED MOVIE EVER!!!!THIS IS THE MOST OVER-RATED MOVIE OF ALL TIME! WHY DO PEOPLE STILL WATCH THIS GARBAGE!? IT'S TERRIBLE!! I CAN THINK OF AT LEAST TWENTY MOVIES FROM THE SEVENTIES THAT WERE BETTER THAN THIS! STAR TREK IS BETTER THAN STAR WARS AND STAR TREK IS AWFUL!!! DUNE WAS BETTER THAN THIS!!! THE MATRIX IS EQUALLY AS TERRIBLE AS THIS! TARKOFSKY'S "SOLARIS" IS LESS DATED THAN THESE STUPID MOVIES! GEORGE LUCAS DIDN'T EVEN DIRECT OR PRODUCE THE LAST TWO SEQUALS SO WHERE DOES HE GET OFF THINKING HE CAN ADD A BUNCH ...

Theres only one difference i noticed in the film between the VHS version and the DVD versions and thats Hayden Christensen, His inclusion does make sense i suppose but it still feels out of place. the rest ...
