Star Wars Trilogy 6 discs Limited Edition Tin Box Set [1977]
ReviewsAnd... they keep coming... Review date: 2007-10-29 Rating: 8 out of 10 Yet another DVD version of the original trilogy is released and nice it looks but also expensive, I am not fused about the original version through as I am as some people might call a newby at 16 years of age, I like the new improved versions much better as they fit well better with the new films, but I understand why the older generations want the old version more than the new. The one thing that keep really annoying me is the fact that they are yet to relase a Boxset of Episodes 1-3, I have Episode 1 and 2 on video but they are now quite scrappy and I would love all three of the new films on DVD soon. Please George Lucas iI would love a boxset of Episode I-III! Thats all I have to say about this... They are the original versions Review date: 2007-01-28 Rating: 10 out of 10 Warts and all. The scenes related by the previous reviewer were never in the movie. 1 and 2 are famous cut-scenes and can be found on the making magic CD Rom from about ten years ago but never appeared on the big screen. 3 is from the paperback adaptation, to my knowledge never filmed. Personally I would wait before buying this set simply because this year (2007) is the film's 30th birthday and it would be very surprising if they don't release a special anniversary addition (Maybe with those deleted scenes) that will blow this release out of the water, unless you really want to watch the films in rose-tinted-spec-o-vision! At Last!! Review date: 2007-01-23 Rating: 10 out of 10 Well it's taken long enough but for all of those waiting to see the version of the Star Wars trilogy that they remember from the cinema, before Mr. Lucas decided to make an extra buck or two by 'improving' them, the wait is over. Contrary to the statement made by another reviewer these are the original theatrical releases (two of the three scenes he says are now 'missing' were cut before Star Wars was ever released and although stills do exist of those scenes they were never part of the film as seen at cinemas. The third he mentions is still there, though he is remembering it incorrectly.) Don't expect 5.1 Dolby, cleaned negatives or anything other than the films as they were thirty years ago (and yes, it looks like 30 year old film stock), and that's exactly as it should be. If you want the cleaned, enhanced, 'special' editions they are here as well but for me they just serve as a reminder of why George should have left the originals alone. Al last the ORIGINAL TRILOGY Review date: 2007-01-13 Rating: 6 out of 10 The above review was not totally correct this is the origingal 1977, 1980 and 1983 releases of the Star Wars Trilogy. The things mentioned in the first review never exsisted in the theatrical release of A New Hope. All these scenes were in the first cut such as Luke watching Leia's ship being chased through his binoculars were cut before the theatrical release and the only place they were shown was in the Star Wars behind the magic cd-rom. Star Wars:A NEW HOPE This has done away with the Mos Eisely, Jabba the hutt and Biggs scenes and back in is the HAN SHOOTS GREEDO FIRST!! Lucas said he edited this because he did not want Han to seem like a cold killer(big mistake). Personally I quite liked the Jabba Scene and some of the Mos Eisely stuff but I do miss the extra Death Star X-Wing footage. Empire Strikes Back The things missing will be the cave monster scene, entry to Bespin and some footage in and around Bespin and Boba Fett has his old voice. Apart from that this film was never altered that much.Still the best in the saga Return Of The Jedi In this film the is no big musical piece with Sly Snootles and the Max Reebo band, the extra footage with Ola the dancing girl and the rancor. Also you have the old Sarlacc Pit monster I prefer the special edition one as the old one lacked life, Old Ewok song(which I loved) and Sabastian Shaw as Anakin's Jedi spirit as opposed to Hydan Christiensen. Again this was not that heavily edited. Overall this is quite a cool set as you get the originals along with the re-mastered special edition/2004 dvd edits and the tin is a nice touch. If you already have the 2004 dvd's the only thing you are getting is the three originals. If you are Star Wars fan like me then you have to have them both. These are a piece of film history though and Lucas will never release the originals period the only further releases will be the final archival releases.
