Summary: The Original Movie, but it looks Horrible
Comment: Once again, Mr. Lucas has delivered crap and we are supposed grateful. With this set you get both movies, the main movie is the re-worked edition with all the silly additions, like the cartoon Jaba talking to Han; and the bonus disk is the old 1977 edition without all that crap. The "Special" Edition looks great and sounds great. The old "Un-Special" Edition looks and sounds horrible, its widescreen, but it looks like someone copied it from a vhs version. I was quite sad when I shove this in my DVD to watch just to get a really bad (I mean REALLY bad) copy of my favorite movie. So if you already have the "Special Edition" and want the original 1977 version, I can't say its worth spending money on this.

Summary: This is why I waited
Comment: What do you look for in a STAR WARS DVD?
I have some friends who several years ago were visiting China and saw that the STAR WARS Trilogy was available there on DVD. This was almost a year before it was available in the United States. My friends didn't care that it came with Chinese subtitles. They just wanted STAR WARS on DVD and couldn't wait for a U.S. edition.
Likewise, there were many people like myself who simply wanted just the original movies that we saw in theaters as kids -- the original movies on DVD. If George Lucas wanted to throw in an extra special edition disc, or making-of, or what-have-you, then that would be fine. But that's why I didn't rush out and buy the STAR WARS Trilogy when it was first released -- because I knew it was not going to be the real STAR WARS. And I knew that eventually Lucas would release the originals. And I was willing to wait it out.
Is there another version which may someday catch my eye? Perhaps. I wouldn't mind owning a STAR WARS edition that contained all of the edited footage between Luke and Biggs on Tatooine. Or perhaps they may one day decide to re-do the Han Solo/Jabba the Hutt scene with a Jabba that looks like Jabba in RETURN OF THE JEDI. So, as far as "special editions" are concerned, I have no problem with adding new stuff, as long as it is the stuff that was originally filmed and not some useless musical number in Jabba the Hutt's palace (i.e. RETURN OF THE JEDI).
I suppose the best news is for those who enjoy having the movies revamped and "technologically updated" every few years. Because George Lucas doesn't seem to be slowing down in that area at all. He simply will not leave well enough alone.
But one thing that I hope will never change is the end. STAR WAR EPISODE IV: A NEW HOPE must always end with a victorious applause for our heroes.

Summary: MOST OVER-RATED MOVIE EVER!!!!
Comment: THIS IS THE MOST OVER-RATED MOVIE OF ALL TIME! WHY DO PEOPLE STILL WATCH THIS GARBAGE!? IT'S TERRIBLE!! I CAN THINK OF AT LEAST TWENTY MOVIES FROM THE SEVENTIES THAT WERE BETTER THAN THIS! STAR TREK IS BETTER THAN STAR WARS AND STAR TREK IS AWFUL!!! DUNE WAS BETTER THAN THIS!!! THE MATRIX IS EQUALLY AS TERRIBLE AS THIS! TARKOFSKY'S "SOLARIS" IS LESS DATED THAN THESE STUPID MOVIES! GEORGE LUCAS DIDN'T EVEN DIRECT OR PRODUCE THE LAST TWO SEQUALS SO WHERE DOES HE GET OFF THINKING HE CAN ADD A BUNCH OF CGI CHARACTERS IN A MOVIE THAT CAME OUT IN THE EIGHTIES!!!?
CLICK THE "HELPFUL" BUTTON IF YOU AGREE THAT THIS IS THE WORST SCIENCE FICTION FILM EVER.

Summary: Do i really need a title? is that really necessary?
Comment: Look i just wanted to rate this product. it was great. i shouldn't have waited so long to buy it but then i had the VHS version till about a few months ago. the DVD set has an awesome bonus disc that contains a documentary about the struggles George Lucas had just making star wars happen. Theres only one difference i noticed in the film between the VHS version and the DVD versions and thats Hayden Christensen, His inclusion does make sense i suppose but it still feels out of place. the rest is gold.

Summary: What ORIGINAL Star Wars Fans Wanted All Along
Comment: This review is for all ORIGINAL Star Wars fans (I was 14 when it was released). This is what WE have wanted all along. The original Star Wars movie we saw in 1977 (no "Episode IV - A New Hope" in the crawler - never thought I'd get to see that again). This is the untampered with version, no computer generated alterations to the visuals and storyline, no special sound, no special format, but ALL THE ORIGINAL FUN!!! The quality of the DVD is actually quite good. Much better than your old VHS versions you've worn out. Take it from "one of you"...you WILL love this DVD. (Those who hate this DVD are the ones who think it's cool that a young Anakin replaced the old Anakin in the "special edition" of ROTJ...unbelievable!). And by the way...get it right once and for all people...the argument isn't "Han shot first", the truth is "Greedo never shot".
