Summary: When?
Comment: When can I find a boxed set of Star Wars movies containing all six movies? Anyone know?
P.S. Try the Adventures With Boys book series!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Overrated, but overall, still great
Comment: The elements in the Star Wars films are not exactly original. Close to all the ideas are borrowed from different genres spanning from Japanese Samurai films, old Sci-Fi films/serials, Westerns, etc. Then there is the simplistic moral system of the Jedi. There really isn't much genius there. The genius comes from Lucas' knack for innovation of these cliche elements and innovation in general. The genius comes from even thinking of merging all these genres. Without Star Wars, I don't think there would be Shanghai Noon, Big Trouble in Little China, etc. Sure, the creativity is shallow, but it's fun.
I'll now go on to review the individual films.
"A New Hope" sets everything up. There's not much character development.
It's basically a deliciously shallow popcorn film. It leaves you wanting more...
"Empire Strikes Back" is when the story really gets interesting. Luke's force powers are getting stronger and more inner conflict arises. Han is winning over Leia, Luke's future looks a little shaky, and he discover's an awful truth. There's much more swordfighting and it's the best of the series (many will agree).
"Return of the Jedi" shows Luke a full Jedi. You're still not quite sure which way he'll turn. He discovers something that makes him change his mind about Leia, but he's still conflicted. With all the power he's obtained, the weight of responsibility is tremendous. Emperor Palpatine doesn't help much either. There's a fun speedbike race that to this day still looks good. This one comes in close 2nd with Empire.

Summary: All 9 Episodes In The Chronicles Have Now Been Released
Comment: A lot of people are going to disagree with me on this, but here is the list for the complete Star Wars chronicles- all 9 episodes we've been promised for ages- all now available on dvd:
1. The Phantom Menace (1999)- Episode One
2. Attack Of The Clones (2002)- Episode Two
3. Revenge Of The Sith (2005)- Episode Three
4. A New Hope (1977)- Episode Four
5. The Star Wars Holiday Special (aka Life Day Celebration)-
(Nov.1978) - Episode Five (Face it, it has the same real characters from
Star Wars- Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Chewbacca, R2D2,
C3PO, etc., and it has a plot (a silly one) and is not a cheap
cartoon, therefore, it is considered part of the continuing saga.)
6. The Empire Strikes Back - (1980) - Episode Six
7. Return Of The Jedi (1983) - Episode Seven
8. Ewoks Adventure: Caravan of Courage (1984) - Episode Eight
9. Ewoks Adventure: The Battle For Endor (1985) - Episode Nine
(These 2 Ewoks movies are available on a 2-on-1 dvd. If these Ewoks
played such a huge part in the Return Of The Jedi movie, then why
can't these 2 movies be considered episodes 8 and 9? They are the
same Ewoks, not a cheap cartoon, and deserve to be part of the
continuing saga.)
Since George Lucas has now declared there will not be anymore Star Wars
episodes/movies (perhaps a tv series in the future), I have declared the above 9 episodes to now be the complete Star Wars chronicles- and it cannot and will not ever be changed.

Summary: Quality Collection
Comment: This is only the 3 first movies, I mean, the IV, V and VI episodes, but it's a must have collection!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Digital effects could have been left out
Comment: I love Star Wars - especially the original saga. The characterization and the story are "out of this world". George Lucas did a great job - and the story of the Skywalkers and the Force have any person on their seat with Sci-Fi action and swordplay. The only problem with this item is the digital effects of the Remake.. Certain scenes felt completely out of place to the original quality of the movie. Although it gives an added detail to the story, some of it could have been avoided. But all in all a very enjoyable movie box set - and a must for all the Star Wars fanatics
