ReviewsChicago Sun-Times - The movie is a complete entertainment, a feast for the eyes and a delight for the fancy. It's a little amazing how Lucas and his associates keep topping themselves.
Additional InformationOne of the most exhilarating and influential trilogies in the history of motion pictures, George Lucas's sci-fi spectacular continues to capture the hearts and minds of individuals throughout the world. This release features the original STAR WARS trilogy (episodes IV-VI) in one glorious package. Contains both the original theatrical version of each film and the digitally restored and remastered versions.<BR>First up is STAR WARS; George Lucas's stunning sci-fi masterpiece, and arguably one of the most inventive and entertaining films ever made. As the adventure begins, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), an impulsive but good-hearted young man who lives on the dusty planet of Tatooine with his aunt and uncle, longs for the exciting life of a Rebel soldier. The Rebels, led by the headstrong Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), are fighting against the evil Empire, which has set about destroying planets inhabited by innocent citizens with the Death Star, a fearsome planet like craft commanded by Grand Moff Tarkin (Peter Cushing) and the eternally frightful Darth Vader (David Prowse, with the voice of James Earl Jones). When Luke's aunt and uncle are murdered by the Empire's imperial storm troopers and he mysteriously finds a distress message from Princess Leia in one of his androids, R2-D2 (Kenny Baker), he must set out to find Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness), a mysterious old hermit with incredible powers. On his journey, Luke is aided by the roguish, sarcastic mercenary Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and his towering furry sidekick Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) as they run into a host of perilous situations while trying to rescue the princess and the entire galaxy.<BR>Considered the most morally and emotionally complex of the original Star Wars trilogy, THE EMPIRE STRIKE BACK continues creator George Lucas's epic saga where STAR WARS left off. The Rebel Forces which include young adventurer Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), rogue pilot Han Solo (Harrison Ford), and the beautiful but seemingly humourless Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) have been successful in destroying the Evil Empire's Death Star. However, the Empire's top commander, the terrifying Lord Darth Vader (played by David Prowse, voiced by James Earl Jones), is scanning the galaxy for the Rebels' secret location. After a visually stunning showdown on the ice planet Hoth, the Rebels are forced to flee, and Luke separates from Han and Leia. Masterful storytelling weaves multiple, archetypal plotlines that pit Vader against Han and Leia as he desperately attempts to capture Luke for political and, secretly, personal reasons. Luke, meanwhile, finds himself under the tutelage of the tiny but powerful old Jedi Master Yoda, who teaches him the ways of the Force and warns the impatient but talented student against the threat of the Dark Side. Greek tragedy meets a philosophical hero's journey in EMPIRE, a remarkable sci-fi epic in which the performances are as powerful as the spectacular special effects.<BR>The third and

The Best Set Available of the ORIGINAL UNEDITED theatrical releases
You will probably be surprised to know that this is the only set that includes all three of the original films (Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and The Return of the Jedi) in their unedited formats. Please don't waste your money on any other set, you will not find what you are looking for. The cover is the same for whatever region you buy it for, the black edges with the glowing blue center. This version is what we purchased from the U.K., but we have a multi-region player and are able to play it where we live so we got a far better price and saved about $150.00 on the resale price. Multi-region players can be had for about $50.00 on eBay or Amazon, we've had one for about 3 years and love it. Why? we got this set for about $60.00 from England, that's why. The universal complaint with the release is that the data transfer they used was not from original negatives, but they took the print from the laser disc format. The result of that is a DVD set that's visually grainy and some parts are visibly wobbly or wonky, but it's still worth having in my collection until they release it fully restored. To say that Lucas is insane, that's a fact. He absolutely ruined the trilogy with constant revisits and re-editing, and possibly ruined the original negatives in the process, but hopefully not beyond what can be repaired and restored by and with the unlimited resources from the Disney Studios now that they have some control of the franchise. I'm still hopeful for a digitally remastered and fully restored original theatrical release for the first three films, as is every fan of the classic Star Wars films. I'm hoping Disney can make that dream come true, at least, it's what they do as their business, it's marketed as a place where dreams come true. We had to revisit the first trio of films after seeing 'The Force Awakens', which was really great. Thanks for reading, and 'may the force be with you'.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

An absolute gem!
I was absolutely over the moon to find this! My partner remembers the original films before Lucas started fiddling with them, but he was sure they didn't exist in their altered glory on DVD. A bit of internet research and I was able to find this. Haven't watched the films through yet as this is my partner's Christmas present, but I did give the first film a quick check when the set arrived. The disc does specifically say Theatrical Release, and after whizzing through and stopping in various places there was not a single hint of CGI in sight. Visual quality is pretty dismal, but having done my research I was anticipating this. This is the only unaltered version of the original films currently available so it is the price you pay to not have to endure dodgy 90s CGI sticking out like a sore thumb all over the place!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

For the true Star Wars fans
The only reason you would buy this is for the unaltered versions of three movies. Yes you can buy them on blu ray or find a cheaper set of DVD's but they are all edited and ruined by George Lucas (Han shoots first and the are no dumb, ugly or useless CGI added- all shown as it was in the theaters). It does have the altered versions as well making a total of six discs but that's not why you would buy this. Until an unaltered version comes out for blu ray, this is the best star wars trilogy set you can buy right now.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Contains original versions
Bought this purely to see the original theatrical releases - without the garnish - and really enjoyed seeing them again. The originals are video quality with huge letterbox format (to deter you from watching?) although adjust your picture settings to reduce. In sum, if you're of that age where you just want to see the originally released - go for it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great version for fans
There has been another revision since this release, but this version has the original theatrical releases on the bonus discs. I'm one of those old stick-in-the-muds who saw the films when they were originally released, so my enjoyment is as much based on nostalgia as it is in the story, and I like them like that. The remastering with added effects are more visually what the next generation expect to see from this kind of movie, and if you didn't see them first time round you won't know about the changes. Take your pick and enjoy a series that is more like cowboys and indians in space than sci-fi to be honest, but all the better for it, a goodies versus baddies romp, the bad guy even wears a black hat.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The original & the best!
This is the original trilogy that spanned from 1977 to 1983. I saw the original releases and these films still stand the test of time in look, feel and character developments. I was delighted to find these original theatrical releases as George Lucas has stopped their distribution a long time ago and then a few managed to get through. I will treasure these copies. An absolutely brilliant story.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The original release version is better
So nice to see the original release version so much better than the later special editions. Just a shame Lucus and Disney have not released them on Blu-ray and 4k. DeedVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
