board game Risk. Three battling factions attempt to control the Star Wars universe based within the timeframe of the original trilogy (Episodes IV - VI). The Rebels (Soldier and Snowspeeder), Empire (Stormtrooper and AT-ST) and Hutts (Gamorrean Guard and a Rancor) all attempt to take control of the maps 42 planets based within 6 systems. Those familiar with the Risk series will find this game a great variance of the classic game. While those who are new to the game will also find the game easily accessible and tremendously fun and exciting!

Advantages: Greatest Trilogy Ever Disadvantages: Not great extras, rubbish puppets
...movies nowadays, including the new Star Wars films. It’s these special effects that really help make the movie, its them that make the whole fantasy believable, people had to genuinely trust what they were watching which was so difficult at the time. The idea of a kind of worn out future helps the spectacle, a concept that was new at the time with ragged spaceships and ghetto style cities, something that was maybe easier to reconstruct and ... ...my favourite of all the Star Wars movies as, despite being similar in style as A New Hope it was as equally as groundbreaking in its concept. The exceptional effects and action is built upon from the first with further great additional models and sequences, especially with the snow battles on Hoth. The space battles are slightly more complicated as you would expect with additional budget and the climatic light sabre battle is far more exciting and ...

Advantages: The original and best space opera trilogy EVER!!! Disadvantages: Not many... too many new changes? Still features Ewoks!

Advantages: All three Special Edition films are here, nice sound, crisp picture Disadvantages: None
...this increasingly popular format: The Star Wars Trilogy And despite some opposition from fans who (a) wanted the DVD set to include both the 1977-83 versions and the 1997 Special Editions and (b) are unhappy with further alterations made to the "Classic" trilogy especially for the 2004 DVD editions, The Star Wars Trilogy four-disc set has been selling briskly. (It's No. 1 in DVD sales at Amazon.com.) I've been a Star Wars fan since 1977, so not only ... ...the first boxed sets for Star Wars' 15th Anniversary, I plunked down whatever it was that it cost. When Lucasfilm and 20th Century-Fox Home Video re-issued the three cassette THX enhanced version in '95, I upgraded (giving my first boxed set to my older sister), even though I had to settle for the dominating pan-and-scan format; there was a specially packaged widescreen "collector's edition," but even the enticement of the superior format and a snippet ...

Advantages: Re-mastered, Good Extras Disadvantages: Not the original cuts
...just to hear glimpses of Star Wars on TV. I remember seeing Jedi on the big screen and getting a big poster adorning my wall for years after. So fast forward to a Saturday night in May of this year and I all I felt was crushing disappointment. The credits had rolled on Episode III and with it went a little bit of everything I'd grown up with. Of course the new instalments can never rival the original films. CGI ruined the new movies and to an extent ... ...the Star Wars trilogy, essentially it is but with all the CGI whistles and bells and tinkering it can never truly be the original trilogy and that's what narks me. DVD technology allows there to be more than one version of the film on a disc. Through seamless branching we've seen releases of The Abyss and Independence Day offer both Directors and Theatrical cuts. I don't know how easy to this would have been for the Star Wars trilogy but it would ...

Advantages: Another Excuse to buy another Set of Star Wars Disadvantages: NONE
...there. I am a massive Star Wars fan, and thanks to my other half I’m now a proud owner of the Platinum 4 disc DVD Box Set. Just looking at them gets me all excited!!!!
Arrived on release date of Monday. In a nice looking box. This is the first time the original films have been released on DVD, they are the digitally remastered version, which is probably my only downside of this product, I just believe you shouldn’t mess with an already perfect piece ... ...disc that will please any Star Wars Fan and is worth the cost of the DVD Box Set Alone.
Firstly, the one and only downfall of this disc, you have to sit through 1 minute of copyright screen in different languages, so bear with it.
Fantastic menu Screen, Features Documentaries – Trailers and TV Spots – Video Games and Stills – Episode III Preview. The Documentary is great, titled Empire of Dreams. Features all actors, and of course George himself. ...

DVD Description
The complete original STAR WARS trilogy in one set, in their 1997 remastered Special Edition versions, with an extra disc containing a documentary and other amazing extras. STAR 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.
