Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
This 2005 three-disc edition of George Lucas's Star Wars Trilogy is basically the same set as the 2004 edition minus the bonus fourth disc. That means you get the three original films--A New Hope (1977), The Empire Strikes Back (1980), and Return of the Jedi (1983)--in their brilliant-looking and -sounding DVD glory. That means you also get both the changes that were made for the 1997 special-edition versions as well as the revisions that were made for the films' DVD debut, including Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker) being added to a scene in Jedi, Ian McDiarmid (the Emperor) replacing Clive Revill with slightly revised lines in Empire, and Temuera Morrison rerecording Boba Fett's minimal dialogue, plus some other small details.
The discs don't qualify as bare-bones because they do include the commentary tracks recorded by Lucas, Ben Burtt (sound design), Dennis Muren (visual effects), and Carrie Fisher (Leia), plus Irvin Kershner added for The Empire Strikes Back. But what you lose is the fourth disc's 150-minute documentary Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy, the three substantial featurettes ('The Characters of Star Wars,' 'The Birth of the Lightsaber,' and 'The Force Is with Them: The Legacy of Star Wars'), the Xbox sampler, the no-longer-exciting Episode III preview, and other odds and ends. Star Wars aficionados will certainly stick with the four-disc set, but casual fans might be satisfied with this lower-priced version. --David Horiuchi

Rating:  - Star Wars Trilogy
Excellent. It will be great if we can have Star Wards I, II and III in a set too.
Rating: - My kids love Star Wars
Star Wars is not just for men who grew up in the 70's and 80's. My kids love it!
Rating: - Star Wars Trilogy
For anyone interested in sci-fi this is the series to own. Great scenery, action and story-line.
Rating: - This was so much fun!
It had been years since seeing this series on the equipment we had back then, an audio-cassette player. So, we played tapes. I sold the tapes several years ago to 1/2 Price Book Stores.
Because I am technologically challenged, I ordered the DVDs in full screen. Still, they were wonderful and my husband and I sat on the couch, enthralled at revisiting the series. Sound is just great, pictures clear.
I heartily recommend this series. Thanks for the memories.
Rating:  - I bought the wrong version
I bought the wrong version of this movie :-(. I have not seen this and opened the package or the movie. I will try to sell this one. What I want is the the Widescreen version of Star Wars ;-D
