more...WARS - A NEW HOPE, George Lucas's stunning sci-fi masterpiece, is arguably one of the most inventive and entertaining films ever made, garnering generations of loyal fans who are forever imprinted with the memory of its characters and dialogue. As the adventure begins, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), an impulsive but goodhearted 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 stormtroopers and he 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. THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK is considered the most morally and emotionally complex of this original trilogy and continues where Lucas's epic saga STAR WARS - A NEW HOPE left off. The Rebel Forces--which still include young adventurer Luke Skywalker, rogue pilot Han Solo, and the beautiful but seemingly humourless Princess Leia--have been successful in destroying the Evil Empire's Death Star. However, the Empire's top commander, the terrifying Lord Darth Vader, 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 the film, a remarkable sci-fi epic in which the performances are as powerful as the spectacular special effects.In RETURN OF THE JEDI--the final part of the trilogy--Luke Skywalker embarks on a mission to find out if one of his enemies is a relation of his. Along for the ride are Princess Leia, Han Solo and other familiar faces from the first two movies. Jabba the Hut and the furry, adorable Ewoks are just some of the bizarre new creatures they encounter in this third action-packed, special effects-filled installment of the phenomenally popular STAR WARS series.

May the Force Be With You
Review of Star Wars - The Original Trilogy (Box Set) by samtween

Advantages: These films never seem to age.
Disadvantages: None

The Star Wars films are three of the truly greatest films ever made. I never tire of watching them. My own children now sit in awe as I did when I first watched them. They have it all. Love, honour, villians, and spectacular special effects. Everyone in my family has their favourites and mine is Episode 4, the first one released. Luke is the main hero but its Hans Solo played by Harrison Ford who is unforgetable. He just oozes sex appeal and this ... Read review

The Greatest Story Ever Told? I Dont Think So
Review of Star Wars - The Original Trilogy (Box Set) by anoop_mair

Advantages: If you've watched these films as a child you'll love them
Disadvantages: for first time viewers not exactly compelling stuff

...child I've grown up thinking Star Wars is the greatest story ever told from Luke Skywalker's X-Wing blowing up the death star to the biggest revaltion of movie history that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's 'Father'. But when I watched the entire trilogy recently I couldn't help but think if I hadn't loved star wars as a child would I really still believe its the greatest series of movies and as much as it pains me to say this but the answer is no.

One of the greatest trilogy, now on dvd.
Review of Star Wars - The Original Trilogy (Box Set) by at.dot

Advantages: The way that he quality ahs been improved, the rather cheap price
Disadvantages: Nothing really, how can there be disadvantages with star wars?

...themselves to the first 3 Star Wars films. A few years ago the trilogy was enhanced using special effects and it was only a short wait until the makers of Star Wars found another way to sell the films. The extras disc is quite interesting and useful if you have a spare afternoon to use sit and watch it (rather like the lord of the rings extra discs). The price is also reasonable at around £30 in most shops although, if you have a star wars Ep 3 cinema ... Read review

Sci-fi that changed Sci-fi
Review of Star Wars - The Original Trilogy (Box Set) by leighives1980

Advantages: Three fims in one box, less storage, easier to have a lazy day watching all films
Disadvantages: Can't fit into the standard DVD rack, pain if you already have first film but not the rest

The Star Wars Trilogy are the films which rocked the world. From the release of the very first film sci-fi fans have never looked back. By todays standards the special effects are nothing, but with these films that does not matter. The opening sequence has you strapped to your seat, biting those nails wondering where this film will go, the difference between this film and recent sci-fi releases is that these actually keep you in that seat. I wont ... Read review

To buy or not to buy
Review of Star Wars - The Original Trilogy (Box Set) by stevesteve1972

Advantages: Well presented, bonus disc is full of lots of information for star wars fans
Disadvantages: Its only the first 3 films, all though that could be an advantage!

These films have been digitally remastered, which brings out the true brilliance of these films. They have always been a big hit with me from a very early age. Personally I wasn't that keen on the added digital effects that do still seem to stand out from the orginal footage and also change my orginal memories from years gone bye, but having watched the fourth disc this is how George Lucas envisaged the films but technology wasn't upto the mark at ...

The greatest trilogy in history!
Review of Star Wars - The Original Trilogy (Box Set) by hughesy79

Advantages: It's Star Wars!
Disadvantages: There are no disadvantages

The trilogy consists of probably the best films ever created - A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and The Return Of The Jedi. The trilogy has been digitally restored and remastered with dolby surround with a couple of new/modified scenes throughout the trilogy. The trilogy starts of with A New Hope which involves the discovery of Luke Skywalker, the son of Darth Vader and without giving to much away is a classic film of good versus evil! The second ...

Review of Star Wars - The Original Trilogy (Box Set) by picklesrocks

Advantages: Good quality, very entertaining dvds
Disadvantages: the box breaks quite easily

The Original star wars trilogy. I love these movies, these were George Lucases original 3 movies which finish the star wars saga. It is fantastic to compare the newer movies to these, the technology has come along amazingly but the puppets in the originals are still outstanding. I must say that i was slightly dissapointed when i bought this because after seeing the new movies it seemes a little outdated. In the new movies special effects are use fantastically ...

Review of Star Wars - The Original Trilogy (Box Set) by ironman30

Advantages: Another Star Wars
Disadvantages: None

...James Earl Jones. The best ever Star Wars, it has even more action and effects that has got even better and most of all more bad guy stuff. Vader is the best, what a voice. Episode VI (Return of the Jedi) Cast - Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Bill Dee Williams, Peter Mayhew, Anthony Daniels, James Earl Jones, Ian McDiarmid, Fank Oz, David Prowse. Any other great film but it could have done with out the EWOKS I feel they are a bit pointless ... Read review
