Great dvd. Enjoyed it when it first came out and now part of the collection. Too bad they didn't finish the plan of making the nine movies. Would have been great.
Great Purchase February 7, 2010

This DvD set is perfect for Star Wars fans. Its cheap and you get a lot for your money. The set comes with six DvDs in three slim cases. You get the remastered special edition DvDs and also the original un-touched Movies.
You can't please everyone... February 6, 2010

Star Wars has one of the largest fan bases of any Hollywood phenomenon out there, so it comes as no surprise that they break off into little cliques to decide how its legacy should live on. There are those who claim that nothing should be done to the original since that's what they fell in love with, and there are those who want to be selective about the updating done to them, and then there are those who want them to be retconned entirely so that they fit the prequels more. George Lucas can't win.
I was born in '87, but my first exposure to Star Wars was in fact the original film. Personally, I have found all of the enhancements to be enjoyable (well, okay, Han shot first, but aside from that...), and expect there to be many more enhancements made in my lifetime because Lucas is an artist who will never be completely happy with his work, partly due to the fans incessant whining. People will always find something wrong with these movies.
I enjoy Star Wars in all its forms, and look forward to future updates from Lucasfilms. 5 out of 5.

Maybe I'm not a Star Wars purist, but I've enjoyed the movies and so I have my kids. Quality is great and I'm fine with the minor modifications. I'd recommend this to anyone looking to enjoy the original 3 again and maybe share them with the next generation.

I feel old, I remember when I saw Star Wars, & at the theatre they were handing out "Bad News Bears" batting helmets, of course times change the theatre that I saw "Star Wars" in was eventually converted to an 'adult' movie theatre.Sigh.
You have to look at it this way, this is George Lucas' baby, and the only way to not accept his vision is to not buy the product. I like having the original releases, however I just wish they included the "making of" dvd, with this set, I really don't want to drop $30plus on that DVD alone. Don't get me started with the Prequels, I have no problem with Episode 1, if I was 5 I would be kind of psyched, I wasn't 5 when I saw Episode 1, the writing was really poor, I did enjoy having the Tuscan Raiders, portrayed as drunken hillbillies, also just all of Lucas stereotyping with all of the creatures, yes I wish Jar Jar have never been thought of would like to see a death cage match between Jar Jar and the Ewoks.
When I heard Lucas hired writers for Episode 2 I was happy until I saw the film, episode 2 is just plain awful, except for the last 45 minutes, overall just a cluster of good intentions gone horribly wrong. The there is Episode 3, great action scenes holy crap writing (As Harrison Ford once said "George can write this s***, but whose going to say these lines") and if I'm wrong all apologies. The Star Wars prequel just demonstrates to leave well enough alone, however the 2nd & 3rd Matrix films all time worst in my book only 1 Matrix film made.
Back to Star Wars, this DVD set first night I got it I ended up watching the 'extended editions' with the commentaries, and they weren't half bad, however Greedo never shot first.
So it is nice to have the original and altered versions of the first saga, "Fanboys" has its heart in the right place and if George had that passion with the Prequels as the makers of that movie (Fanboys) Lucas wouldn't be so heavily criticized. Fanboys
