Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: 2nd Generation Fan installed
Comments: 10 year old grandson received this collection to augment his Storm Trooper helmet. A week in sick bay supplied the perfect excuse to view them all. He loved the scene in the bar in I, loved Princess Laeah, and has collected all the Star Wars Fleet Ships with figurines to fly them. The Storm Trooper Clones are cool and fun, however the 30 year old classics still hit the spot. |

Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: Great movies, decent revisions
Comments: If you did not like all of the changes to the original trilogy in the 1997 "special editions," you will be happy to know that some of them have been toned down for the release onto DVD. Unfortunately, Greedo shoots 1st and that stupid rock band is still in Jabba's palace. However, the shootout scene is reworked to make it a bit more plausible (well, a bit) and some of the other changes were simply removed (such as Luke's scream when he falls at the end of Empire). The Jabba the Hutt encounter in A New Hope has also been redone to make Jabba look more realistic. The special effects have all been cleaned up and look incredible. It's still so hard to believe they were made 30 years ago. If you can just ignore the Greedo scene and quick-forward over Jabba's rock band, I think this is the best version of Star Wars yet.
A more substantive complaint with this DVD set is that it doesn't include any deleted scenes. I am not sure why there aren't any deleted scenes included in the Bonus Features, because they are rumored to exist. I would love to see the scenes with Biggs on Tatooine, or wampas attacking stormtroopers. I sure hope Lucas releases them at some point - it would be a tragedy if they simply went to waste. |
