 Couldn't really ask for much more. November 5, 2008

I see this box set is getting a lot of bad reviews so I thought I'd chime in.
Most people giving it one star are just mad that there is another boxset release. This doesn't bother me at all. I never bought the other boxsets because of all the CG that was added, those aren't the movies I love.
People are also upset that the originals aren't in anamorphic widescreen and are poor transfers. Yeah an anamorphic version would have been nice and maybe they could have been retransfered, but these movies look a lot better than my old VHS set. Most likely these movies look better now than they did in the crappy theatar I saw them in.
In conclusion, this is a very affordable way to get all the original versions of the original trilogy, plus you get all the touched up versions.

I noticed that all the one star reviews are from folks that already own the Star Wars films. I'm just kind of curious...why did you review this item? Of course the boxed set of the original Star Wars trilogy is only good for people that don't own the original Star Wars trilogy. If you already own the item, why would you want it again except in another format (like Blu-Ray which I do agree Lucasfilm should have).
Also, I'd just like to point out that this set does actually remastered versions of the original editions from the seventies and eighties.
rerelease but ? December 15, 2008

The movies are great and yeah it is a rerelease so guess what? if you already have the movies DONT BUY THIS. But this gives you both versions on dvd which is nice. I bought this after my old dvds got scratched.
Sure, today you want it on Blu-Ray. In five years you'll buy it again in a new improved format yet to come November 11, 2008

Lucas will probably release these on to Blu-Ray DVD's when something better than Blu-Ray comes out. And then you can buy the new format again and again and again and again and again and so on and so on.
Do you think video quality improvement is going to end with Blu-Ray? I'll bet they are working on something better than Blu-Ray as we speak so that maybe 5 years from now when everyone's replaced their favorite DVD's with Blu-Ray discs, they'll expect us to start replacing our favorite Blu-Ray movies with, yet again, another improved format.
See where I'm going with this? You are probably going to buy Star Wars over and over again til the day you die! I'll stick with the DVD's that I have. They all look fine, and there is no reason to buy them again. That goes for "Star Wars" as well as my other 600 or so movies that I can barely find time to watch as it is.
Getting the best picture of your favorite movies over and over again, year after year, is compulsively expensive and is hardly, realistically, not very necessary.
Get a life people! Get off the couch!
Three great films at a good price. August 24, 2008

These are the three 2-disc editions of the original trilogy put together in a box. A nice buy for those who don't already own them, but little else.
