All three of these films are still impressive to this day. The 'Star Wars' trilogy will always stand the test of time. These movies had ground breaking special fx and sound fx that revolutionized the world of cinema. Had it not been for this movie trilogy, then motion pictures like 'The Lord of the Rings' wouldn't exist. All of the actors and actresses performed so well, that the acting hardly seems cheesy for films that came out decades ago. In my opinion, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher delivered the best performances in the trilogy. And who could forget James Earl Jones' memorable voice as Darth Vader. Director George Lucas wrote what is one of the greatest sci-fi stories about good vs. evil. And the fact that this story is an interesting space adventure with highly advanced technology makes it all the better to watch! Its no wonder 'Star Wars' has a huge fan base. The battle scenes are unforgettable: especially the Battle of Hoth in 'The Empire Strikes Back'. Each film in the trilogy delivers drama, romance, deception, and exciting action sequences that go along with a well done plot: enough to keep me entertained. John Williams conducted what is one of the most incredible, and memorable, music (scores) in movie history. This DVD box set has both the original theatrical release and special edition 'Star Wars' fims. I like both vesions, but I'd rather prefer watching the special edition 'Star Wars' films over the original threatrical released ones due to the fact they are more enhanced digitally and have better sound fx. And, besides, thats the way George Lucas wanted the films to be like anyway. But, all in all, I am glad that I finally own both versions of this spectacular movie trilogy! I recommend the 'Star Wars' trilogy on DVD if you don't already own it. You should also buy the 'Star Wars' prequel trilogy on DVD too.

This was the perfect way to purchase the original trilogy. Good quality with bonus material.

I have been waiting to get this on DVD for a while. The scenes are remastered and the sound is excellent along with the effects. The shortfall is they changed some of the scenes so this set is not as I remember the original. If you can get over some added scenes and changed endings then you will enjoy this DVD set.

Everyone knows about the Movies... they're awesome. This Trilogy is the best version of the movies because it has both the original theatrical feature length releases on the DVD and another DVD that has the enhanced digital re-release with extra 3d scenes etc. Altogether it's 6 DVDs total in the package, 3 original version, 3 of the digitally enhanced version. I happen to be a fan of the original without any of the new stuff but you get the best of both worlds in this trilogy.

I got this box set less than 48 hours after hitting the "Confirm Order" thanks to free 2-day shipping with Amazon Prime. It is exactly what I wanted, which was the original trilogy on DVD. The original copies of the movies on the bonus discs is indeed a bonus. I mainly wanted these movies because I own the original trilogy box sets, both the originals and special editions, on VHS.(Yes, that means the box set that is not numbered 4-6, nor is the first movie called "A New Hope") I just wanted good copies that I could watch while leaving the old dinosaurs in their cases. Finding this box set for $26.99 made it an instant buy for me because the individual DVDs are $15 each. So, $26.99 or $45, seemed common sense to me. While the box and slim DVD cases aren't of the highest durability, they do look nice on my shelf, and its not like their going to leave the shelf unless I am watching them.
The picture quality and sound quality of the Special Edition films is awesome. The picture quality of the bonus discs is, like most say, VHS quality. Which I don't mind, since I was born after these films left theaters and the first time I saw them was on VHS. So, for me, watching the originals on these bonus discs is like seeing them for the first time all over again. It reminds me of the days of Game Genie and season 1 of Power Rangers, which I guess wasn't really that long ago, but it sure seems like it. Anyway, this is a box set worth buying since we don't know how much longer it will be until they produce BluRay copies and the BluRay box sets will probably cost $100+ each when they release. They already wanna tax soda, its only a matter of time before they start taxing movies and such also. Get them while they're cheap.
