Summary: Star Wars (altered)
Comment: When I was a kid I remember looking forward to the new installment of Star Wars soon to hit the theatre. When the VHS format became popular I bought the tapes and could watch them at my leisure.

Now, with the DVD, I see only the "remastered" (read = altered) versions of the films. I don't recognize the story anymore. The old films recognized that the viewers had an imagination; the newer films spell everything out, hence erasing the mystery and the very thing that made them legendary.

Now it's almost cartoon-ish and obviously for no other reason than that Lucas, at least theoretically, could make more money by recycling an established story. What happened to Darth Vader? Why was he replaced by the snivelling snot who played him in Episode IV? Get real. I liked the original guy better. Much.

For the original trilogy I give 5 stars; for this rewritten betrayal (for mercenary reasons) of the original trilogy, I give 3, and only because it reminds me of the original.

Summary: No retouches, please!
Comment: If you like the edits Lucas made to this classic trilogy, then you can upgrade my review by one or two stars. If you agree that he should have left them alone, then I think 3 stars is fair:

I have little to add to what other reviewers have said, other than that while George has the right to remake the original movies, it would be nice to buy the original releases. I enjoyed the original films immensely, and agree that although the technology was not up today's standards, they possessed a certain charm in spite of, or because of, that. I was going to buy the DVD set of the movies to replace my VHS tapes, but have realized that unless Lucas decides to release the original footage without his "improvements," I really am not interested in owning them.

Summary: Good but...
Comment: I am happy with my purchase except that one case was broken and the DVD does not hold in there and it rattles; really annoying and I don't think that will be good for the disc.

Summary: Updated version
Comment: When I purchased these movies, I didn't realize they were the updated version. Well, they are, so if you like that, this is for you, if you want the strictly classic ones, this isn't them. I happen to like the updated version.

Summary: classics
Comment: only thing i did not like was the addition of the guy who played annakin skywalker in episode 2 and 3 to the scene of the jedi ghosts in episode 6. otherwise, it did not ruin the movies at all that they were digitally remastered.
