The Holy Grail of Blu Ray Movies
on September 17, 2011

Picked this up yesterday after work, and have just been amazed for the past 16 hours. Haven't even watched the movies yet, just been going through the deleted/alternate takes and the documentaries. I haven't seen the Empire documentary since 1980, when I begged my mom to rush home so I wouldn't miss it.
It kills me to listen to people talk about the lack of the original versions. If you watch the documentaries, that is probably how they will look. The picture is grainy, like the first VHS or reel to reel releases from the olden days. I have the 2-disc editions, and the original versions look just fine on those. Who know, maybe one day Lucas will release them, just to make another billion for the nest egg.
This is without a doubt the best blu-ray release that has ever been done. Once blu-ray/hi-def first came out, I waited and waited for this to be released. Now it is here, and all I can say now is when is the Indiana Jones trilogy to be released?

What's great about it: Ummmm, everything
What's not so great: Would love to have the original trailers and the Star Wars Christmas Special
I would recommend this to a friend!

While I would agree with everyone else here about Star Wars being one of the greatest sagas ever, it's this blu ray package that needs to be focused on. I grew up with Star Wars and obviously enjoyed the originals. I didn't agree with the changes Lucas was making with every re-release of the original movies, but I still enjoyed them. I did a preorder for this box set when I heard about the blu ray release.
However, I changed my mind as I heard all the NEW changes Lucas was making to the films in this blu ray package. I'm not as bothered about the Greedo shoots first thing (although it shouldn't have been messed with in the first place), but it's the fact that Vader now screams "Noooooo" before throwing the Emperor over the railing in the climatic, redemptive scene of ROTJ. It changes the mood and seriousness of the scene. That "Noooo" was bad enough at the end of Episode 3 but this is worse. This on top of all the other changes he's making to the original movies. There have been enough changes...we don't need more every time these movies are released!
Other than that, enjoy the movies for what they are, but as others said, maybe there will be a better blu ray edition down the line without these unnecessary changes.
