Star Wars - The Original Trilogy (DVD 2004)

After many countless releases of the original trilogy in both VHS and laserdisc format it was only inevitable that we would have these classics of movies presented to us on this new DVD format. In 1997 we were served up the Special Edition incarnations for what George Lucas originally tried to put to film and what a fuss it caused, splitting the fans into two camps, those who welcomed the freshening up and those who hated it.


The problem was that the tweaks were inconsistent with some changes adding and enhancing the movies whilst others took away from the core, such as Han no longer shooting first during his encounter with Greedo. This time around the changes a minor in scope yet major in impact. In Star Wars we have a better rendered speeder enter into Mos Eisley and a new model for Jabba the Hutt used in the restored scene with han now casting more obvious shadows onto the slug. Han and Greedo now shoot almost simultaneously with Han saying "Yes, I bet you have" as in the original. Leia's gunshots are proper laser shots now and Obiwan and Vader's lightsabers have more color in them yet still suffer from strobing issues. Empire now has Ian McDiarmid playing the holographic Emperor and the voice of Boba Fett is now that of Temuera Morrisson, Jango Fett in Attack of the Clones. Jedi rounds off the changes with a shot of Naboo in the final celebrations as well as Hayden Christensen's head replacing that of Sebastian Shaw in the final group shot of the departed Jedi. Decide amongst yourselves the merits of these changes.

As for this DVD boxset release itself, the long wait was certainly worth it the fourth disc itself is dedicated to special features and is what every Star Wars fan will treasure !!!!!!

These films are undoubtedly some of the best ever made and a corner stone in alot of peoples young lives. This DVD box set sees the films better than they have ever looked before. They are much more like George Lucas always wanted them to be. This set also includes a full length documentary with in depth detail about the making of the original star wars films. You must buy these films.

My great grandchildren enjoy watching and listening to DVDs on their home cinema surround sound system and sets of fully enhanced trilogy of the Star Wars films were recently re-introduced in full THX cinema sound format.

A local e-bayer advertised a set for sale in "mint" condition and I was lucky enough to be the successful bidder.

They were duly collected and paid for as agreed and were exactly as described by the seller.

Yet another excellent transaction completed using e-bay.

What ever you are trying to obtain it is always worth "searching" on e-bay first.

Very good box set!!! A must have for any star wars fan! especially fans of the original trilogy. All the original films have been digitally remastered to look and sound better. The bonus disc, is great aswell! with trailers, behind the scenes, and clips of the making of the films, as well as interviews, etc. Also contains a demo of the new star wars game which is another bonus!

Everyone should have this in their collection.It's an all time classic series, and will thrill children and adults for many years to come.

excellent condition as stated in notes, postage and packaging very fair price, really good doing business with you thankyou

Having converted most of my old video collection to DVD I was thrilled to find this film gem in digital format. If you watch this in widescreen format, it really does the battle scene great justice; coupled with surround sound, you'll be gripped by the amazing cinematography. I would recommend the director's cut that includes scenes about the relationship between the lead character and his estranged wife and helps you to understand the motivation behind his decision. The run time is 183 minutes for the directors cut and 120 minutes for the cinema version. I was, however, disappointed by the lack of extras, which any fan of this classic would expect to be included. There's only a 20-minute interview with the director and other shot "making-of" vignettes.

without doubt the best starwars movies made, George Lucas at his directing and writing best!The three newer episodes lacked the same bite as the first three.

bought this for my grandson was in excellent condition and looks really good - ungrateful little b*****d didnt even say thank you

I have always been a fan of Star Wars and it is so difficult to believe that the original film was made over 30 years ago.

Having just bought a new cinema surround sound system I was keen to experience its' full effect and what better film than Star Wars. I certainly wasn't disappointed and spent the next 9 hours totally engrossed in the Trilogy.

This collection is a must for all Star Wars fans - excellent cinematography and awesome Dolby surround sound - it's just like being in a galaxy far, far away!!

Buy it and enjoy!!!

CLASSIC STAR WARS FILMS ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

We found the films to be exactly as described when purchasing. The quality is excellent and we would certainly use this seller again and this way to purchase movies.

True si-fi for both young and old but mainly old and is ideal for collectors if lost one again will buy the trilogy they just need to bring out all 6 films in a box set

all the family love star wars but we only had it on tape. wanted it on d v d and thought best cheack out ebay. it was a good price and in excellent condition.thank you very much.

What can I say, anyone reading this probably already knows what the Star Wars trilogy is, probably the most famous movies ever made. Great cast, fantastic storyline and amazing characters. What was already a classic has just been made a legend in the 2004 trilogy. Digitally remastered, the lightsabers look better and a little tune up in some special effects make these DVD's an absolute must for any collection. I really just cant reccomend the Star Wars trilogy enough, way better than the newer ones (I II AND III) and really just fun for people of any age, from 5 to 55. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED

well what can i say about star wars they are simply the best movies ever written, people of all ages enjoy them , i grew up on the originals and my kids still love them , that just tells you these are timeless classics that will never die , best bits are all of it worst bit none of it lol ,i bought this dvd set because i only have them on video set ...

My boys are well pleased with the dvds and it keeps them quite for a good while. The seller was excellent and am very happy with the purchase.
