 Always a classic! Jul 19, 2008
The original, history-making Star Wars trilogy is a worthy investment for anyone's library. The digital update makes for a more intense experience. The background disc is so loaded with information and stories, you feel as if you were there from conceptualization to final edit. Don't miss out on this. Get your own copy before it's on EBay for hundreds of dollars!
Must Own Box Set Jul 16, 2008
What can I say about this set that hasen't already been said. If you are a fan of the movies and don't own episodes 4-6 then I highly recommend buying this. The bonus 4th disc is a very nice touch. I found this set alot cheaper at a local retail store for around $40.
Don't Be Afraid of the CGI Jul 13, 2008
I've wanted to add this title to my DVD collection for a while, but hesitated when I saw the controversy about the changes. Still, at $25 for the set, I thought I'd take a chance.
Personally, I think the CGI is great. It looks crisp on an HD screen, and not grainy like all movies would be from this period. It breathes new life into a good, but old movie.
I even wish they would have taken it a step further and updated some of the lo-res computer graphics in the movie. They look like Pong.
The puppets seem kind of campy looking today, and maybe they could have done a little something with those too.
I guess there's no way to cover up some of the stupid dialogue between Han and Lea, but that's another matter.
I do agree with others that both versions should be available, but I'm guessing that would be expensive. The whole "Greedo shot first" thing is pretty bad, and completely changes Han's character, but whatever.
The changes make the two trilogies fit together better, and make modern viewing a little bit nicer.

When? Jun 21, 2008
When can I find a boxed set of Star Wars movies containing all six movies? Anyone know?
P.S. Try the Adventures With Boys book series!

Overrated, but overall, still great May 21, 2008
The elements in the Star Wars films are not exactly original. Close to all the ideas are borrowed from different genres spanning from Japanese Samurai films, old Sci-Fi films/serials, Westerns, etc. Then there is the simplistic moral system of the Jedi. There really isn't much genius there. The genius comes from Lucas' knack for innovation of these cliche elements and innovation in general. The genius comes from even thinking of merging all these genres. Without Star Wars, I don't think there would be Shanghai Noon, Big Trouble in Little China, etc. Sure, the creativity is shallow, but it's fun.
I'll now go on to review the individual films.
"A New Hope" sets everything up. There's not much character development.
It's basically a deliciously shallow popcorn film. It leaves you wanting more...
"Empire Strikes Back" is when the story really gets interesting. Luke's force powers are getting stronger and more inner conflict arises. Han is winning over Leia, Luke's future looks a little shaky, and he discover's an awful truth. There's much more swordfighting and it's the best of the series (many will agree).
"Return of the Jedi" shows Luke a full Jedi. You're still not quite sure which way he'll turn. He discovers something that makes him change his mind about Leia, but he's still conflicted. With all the power he's obtained, the weight of responsibility is tremendous. Emperor Palpatine doesn't help much either. There's a fun speedbike race that to this day still looks good. This one comes in close 2nd with Empire.
