Summary: Watch out for FRAUD!
Comment: This Amazon product listing is too sketchy, and does not list whether or not it's the Special Edition. One seller advertizing a new Star Wars Trilogy Giftpack (1996), actually sent the 1997 Special Edition instead of the 1996 original Star Wars, and DARED to argue that the 1997 version was the original Star Wars. Hey, it said 1997 on the box TWICE, and it said Special Edition, not as advertised on this listing. Buyer Beware - check for 1996 or earlier on the product before opening or acceptance. If it is 1997 or later or said Special Edition or Silver Masterpiece, it is not the original Star Wars.

Summary: This is my Star Wars!
Comment: I have the last release of the Star Wars Trilogy's orginal cut on Laserdisc.I got so tired of flipping the darn things.When I heard the Star Wars Trilogy was coming out on DVD,I was like "YEAH no more flipping!" Then I heard that Lucas was not releasing the orginal cuts in the set,I was kind of upset but I did'nt hate the 97 versions like other fans,the only new stuff I did'nt like was Greedo shut first instead of Han,and adding Jabba to the new Hope.That Jabba looked so fake,he looked nothing like the Jabba from Return of the Jedi.Now the Trilogy is coming to DVD and Lucas has gone back and removed the actor that played Anakin in Return of the Jedi with Hayden Christensen,talk about a slap in the face to Star Wars fans!You could of at least made him look older.Why is it when Kenobi dies his ghost comes back as the old man he was when he died?Yet Anakin comes back as a ghost as his Teenage self!And he looks younger then Luke.Well think goodness I bought a DVD recorder not to long ago.I pluged my Laserdisc in the recorder,dug out my Star Wars Laserdiscs,threw a DVD R in the recorder and put the orginal cuts of Star Wars on DVD.I even made my own Star Wars Trilogy DVD Box.Now I have the orginal cuts of Star Wars on DVD.Had to split movies up onto two discs to get the best picture quality.No I wont make other copies and sell to people,that's against the law so dont even ask me.But if you have a DVD recorder and have the orginal Trilogy on VHS or Laserdiscs and would like to get them on DVD well do what I did.But be warned some DVD Recorders has a copy guard device in players so you might not be able to copy a VHS.

Summary: Not the Special Edition... but still special in its own way
Comment: I found myself kinda bummed when I read about George Lucas' decision to never ever EVER release the original version of the classic Star Wars trilogy on DVD. I was also kinda bummed to hear rumors that he's gonna mess with the Special Edition flicks even MORE so that they tie in better with those gawdawful prequels he's making, but that's another review for another time. While the Special Edition renditions of this legendary sci-fi trifecta have their good parts (the new `Ewok Celebration' tune at the end of RoTJ, for example) and bad parts (Greedo shooting FIRST?! WTF?!), I still possess a certain sense of nostalgia for the original, un-tinkered-with movies and their not-as-special-as-they-seemed-twenty-five-years-ago effects. Unfortunately, it appears the 1996 THX-mastered VHS tapes being offered here will indeed be the final release of the un-special incarnations of A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi in ANY home video format. I mean, Steven Spielberg included the original cut of E.T. along with the revamped 20th anniversary re-release when Universal put it out on DVD; why couldn't Lucas be doing the same thing for the very films that made him a household name and laid the foundation for modern visual effects? I'm so disappointed by the situation, I'm considering getting my own VHS tapes dubbed on to DVDs so I won't hafta worry about the picture and sound quality degrading over time (and in case you're wondering: No, I WON'T be making these dubs to sell; the transfers would be solely for my own personal viewing).Anyway, on with the show. Now I'm not an absolutist about the widescreen format. In fact, most instances I couldn't care less about what's "off screen" to the left or right of the subject being shown. One of the big exceptions to this rule of mine, however, is the classic Star Wars trilogy. If there's ever been a set of mo-pics that absolutely MUST be viewed in their original theatrical aspect ratios, these bad-boys are it! So if you're thinking of buying this set, make absolutely sure you get it in widescreen format. In this instance, wider really IS better! `Late
