"Not Worth It."
1 stars"

I am sorry if this upsets some, but this particular copy is just not worth the trouble.

It gives off the basics of the original trilogy sure, but it is riddled with “Lucas Enhancements” which ultimately screw up the film.

Check for yourself the differences from the theatrical release to what it has become now…

I would recommend getting this if you just want a broad look into what the original trilogy was like, but NOT if you are looking for the original trilogy that you remembered.

"Goddam "enhanced" versions"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Whilst the trilogy is amazing in almost everyway. These ones are the CGI remastered versions – with dodgy CGI Jabba, and Annakin in return of the Jedi makes an unwelcome appearance. Still it's star wars, it doesn't have Jar Jar and I get to watch it with my kid so that's worth a 4 star review

"Classics"

Purchased on Mighty Ape

You either ‘get’ Star wars or you don't. I do, and have been a fan for decades. Nice to have them all on DVD.

"Timeless Classic!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I can remember as a boy, going to the cinema to see Star Wars for the very first time. Not knowing what to expect I was so excited, and when the moment finally came, the theme music, the back story line rolling up the screen, wow what a moment! To now own the complete Original trilogy, with added scenes I might add, is nothing short of amazing! Well done Mr Lucas!

"Still brilliant after all these years!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I don't think these films have really dated. The special fx are still great, especially the sound of the light sabres. George Lucas really had a vision of his different creatures. Some are really life-like. A treasure to hand down from generation to generation.

"Timeless classic"

Purchased on Mighty Ape

Just the opening soundtrack is enough to grab attention and the rest of the movie(s) just keep delivering the action

"Epic Movies of the time"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

My childhood memories are laced with actions and dialogue of the characters. Epic in proportion, Epic duel between good and bad, inspiring creative minds to not know limitation. George Lucas, is an agent of change.

"Great to have the set."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Matches our one, two and three. Time to throw out the VHS set.

"It's Star Wars; can't go too wrong!"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Original trilogy, great movies, timeless value. There are no special features, and these are the new-and-improved versions, with the at-times not-actually-better graphics and scenes – personally, I would have liked to get my hands on the original originals. I also would have liked some special features. Still, 3 great movies, good low price, can't go wrong.

"Awesome trilogy"

Great for my 8 year old son to watch these classics.

"Its starwars, nuff said"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Awesome 70's and 80's nostalgia

"great" Purchased on Mighty Ape

Have not seen this trilogy since my children were little. Had a marathon of the trilogy one wet Sunday afternoon and it was great, no wonder my kids were glued to the TV when we used to put them in the old school days via the video machine. Well recommended for big kids and little kids!!

"The original Star Wars movies (IV, V, VI) are the best."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I grew up with Star Wars IV, V and VI and in my opinion they are the best of the Star Wars franchise. I saw the first movie quite a few times, and I'm happy to say that watching it again hasn't disappointed. Great stuff!

"As good as, if not better, than when they were made"
5 stars"

Just re watched these for the umpteenth time, love Star Wars, and have fond memories of seeing the first one in the theatre when I was 13. The original three are still way better than the newer three. DVD was pretty good on my blu ray player.

Unbeatable in its scale this trilogy has to be the best sci fi movie of all time

"How do you review Star Wars-" Purchased on Mighty Ape

How do you review Star Wars- If you haven't seen these movies you must be living in a galaxy far far away or in a swamp in the Dagobah System.

"The Best Movies EVER!!!" Purchased on Mighty Ape

I've just watched them again for the like the 20th time in my life and they are still the best movies ever made. Thanks might ape.

"An oldie but a goodie"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This is a trilogy worth owning and for the price you can't go wrong. I have watched this trilogy so many times that it is impossible to count but I still get the need to watch it again which is why I purchased the DVD. Also if you love this trilogy then I'm sure you would love the prequel trilogy that tells the story of episodes 1,2 and 3

"Classic, way ahead of its time"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

These films really show how a great story and superb characters come together to give a movie that can be watched over and over again without ever getting old.This is a must have for anybodies collection

"Old rules over new!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Nothing beats the original in this case. One of my favourite memories as a child was watching this trilogy with my dad. It is still as captivating as I remember and was a fitting bday prezzie for him :)

"Still a classic"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The original Star Wars trilogy cannot be beaten for classic one-liners, action packed scenes, dramatic music and amazing special effects decades ahead of its time. The best sci-fi films ever made.
