- Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2025Excellent way to PRESERVE an all time classic .... high quality and good high quality sound - almost like being at the theater again ...... A lifetime keeper .....
- Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2013These three beginning original Star Wars Movies have been reedited and remastered to provide better viewing entertainment than the previous originals. They include DTS sound for English, using Dolby Digital for other languages. The DTS sound is amazing, and far out performs the originals. The only issues I had was the common dynamic sound being much louder than voice dialogs. I found myself constantly having to turn the volume down to reduce loud bass sound effects and volume up to hear voice dialogs. (Probably in an effort to make neighbors also want to watch a Movie, just like the loudness wars with commericials. :-/)
I also found the reedited version to include the later Episodes' details to be essential for following a transparent story line between all six episodes or all six Movies. The only anomaly was the scene of the computer generated Jabba the Hutt talking with Han Solo while walking within STAR WARS V. Some shadowing or displacement can be seen between real and computer generated video, but over all I still enjoyed the scene. Jabba the Hutt looked much more real, with a lot more detail. Additional scenes were also added, providing more background details or better explanations to viewers, further enhancing the story line.
Since I use Linux, I had an issue with MPlayer properly decrypting the Blu-ray Movies. I was able to play and view the Movies using MPlayer, but video started displaying artifacts. I troubleshooted this to be a result of improper decryption, and had nothing to do with processing power or other hardware issues. Sadly, I needed to use "makemkvcon backup --decrypt disc:/mnt/dvd-udf/ tmp/movie" in order to be able to playback the Movie properly and thankfully without any loss of quality as I use a computer HDMI linked (sometimes optical S/PDIF) Yamaha receiver sound system. A waste of disk space and a waste of energy required for processor and bus power. As they say, be thankful for what you have, even if it's inadequate. Blu-ray developers really need to work on this, and remember the innocent are suppose to be sold a product or service, and not leached or swindled for enhancing their own private agenda.
All in all, I really enjoyed these Movies and have always enjoyed the director's usage of orchestra music and good talented actors, as well as outgoing special and computer generated effects. About the only piece of drama I can truly enjoy in life!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2011I just got my Blu Rays of episodes 4-6 and started my weekend by watching Empire Strikes Back.
Firstly, my system:
Mitsubishi 1080p projector on a 120" screen.
Denon receiver with Dolby Tru HD and DTS HD
Atlantic Technology Speakers 5.1
PS3
Picture quality: Amazing! No graininess with great color balance. Original aspect ratio. I've seen the DVDs (including the issue that contains the original theatrical release - that was not in anamorphic wide screen, but original!), the laser discs (both new release and the mega box set that has each movie spanning 3 discs!) and of course the VHS versions that were originally pan and scan. Of course, the Blu Ray's picture quality cannot be matched by previous technologies. I don't know how else to describe the picture, except that it looks like it was filmed using recent technologies, not 35 mm film stock from the 1970s. If you see some other Blu Ray transfers from the '70s and '80s, you'll notice a significant deterioration and graininess that's typical of the low quality film stock from those decades. Take a look, for example, at the Blu Ray transfer of Ghostbusters and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about! This experience, however, was just awesome.
Sound quality: The people that invented THX were, of course, going to do an awesome job and they did not disappoint. These movies are presented in DTS HD - which I feel sounds better than Dolby Tru HD (that's not included). Dolby Digital and DTS standard audio tracks are also on the disks, but why have a Blu Ray player if you can't enjoy the HD audio!?! I think the sound outdid the picture quality! There was a perfect sound emersion with excellent use of the surround channels. Not just gimmicky noises that most other movies employ, this experience really made you feel like you were in the middle of all the action. If you have a well calibrated 5.1 setup, pay close attention to the rainy sequence with Luke and Yoda in Empire; rain is coming down all around you! Simply beautiful! During the asteroid sequence, the surround channels are used with extreme precision; as ships come from the background or fade into the background, you feel it. The .1 aspect? The sub woofers are perfectly balanced throughout the movie. Again, never a gimmicky use of this most important channel. The subs rumble with great precision, just like the surrounds. The battle on Hoth was simply perfect with regard to the use of surrounds and sub. I never had to adjust the volume to adjust from dialog to action sequences - that was the whole point of Lucas' original mission with THX balancing. You should hear the dialog when it's time to hear it and the action sounds shouldn't overpower the rest of the movie. I often find myself lowering volume during crazy action sequences and raising the volume to hear dialog in lesser quality sound mixes...even from modern productions. Not with this movie, the balance was just perfect. This will become a new reference standard for testing sound systems!
Regarding Lucas meddling with the originals? I don't really care. Mostly because I think Empire Strikes Back is the best one of all 6 and he really didn't mess with this one much! There are some CGI flight sequences that don't take anything away from the movie, in fact, I think they add to it. Thank you George!!! Star Wars, of course has crazy meddling, with Jaba and new creatures...just too distracting. And I never really liked Return of the Jedi - I thought it was very cheesy with the Ewoks. So if you're like me and want to relive the best movie ever (in my opinion), then these Blu Rays can't be beat.
Worth every penny, even if it's just to watch Empire Strikes Back. Beware though, this box set only includes the 3 movies and no bonuses material. The movies do have audio commentary, but no other special features. I'm ok with that - I think you can enjoy "the making of" stuff only so many times before it gets boring.

B. Casás RamaReviewed in Germany on October 23, 20045.0 out of 5 stars ENDLICH!!!
Selbstverständlich kann man/frau bei der STAR WARS -TRILOGIE viel Negatives sehen, wenn man/frau will. Aber das ist eben bei vielen Dingen so: sie stehen für etwas, was schön war oder ist, oder sie erinnern an etwas, das nervt oder provoziert oder ärgert, weil man/frau vielleicht inzwischen irgendwie "reifer" und so richtig "erwachsen" geworden ist. Aber vielleicht sollte man/frau sich eine gewisse Naivität bewahren, um auch die Jüngeren verstehen zu können oder? Und was hilft da mehr als STAR WARS, Naivität in Reinkultur und zwar absolut nicht ironisch gemeint!!! STAR WARS hat weder die filosofische Tiefe und vor allem Authentizität von 2001 von Kubrick, auch nicht die poetisch-melancholische Wirkung von LAUTLOS IM WELTRAUM, auch nicht die bedrückende Enge und Düsterkeit von ALIEN (bis auf den ziemlich ironischen TEIL 4). Aber die genannten Filme oder Serien haben eben nicht das, was STAR WARS hat: Lebensfreude, Humor, Tempo, grenzenlosen Optimismus, reine Freundschaft, naive Liebe, kindliche Fantasie ohne irgendwelche Fesseln. STAR WARS ist zauberhaft, faszinierend gradlinig, lebensbejahend, liebesbejahend, strahlend, einfach eine Erholung bei all den angestrengt tiefschürfenden Erzeugnissen, die jedes Problem aufplustern, bis man/frau die Schnauze voll hat von so viel negativer Energie. Die Rollen sind klar verteilt: hier der naive Held, der zum Krieger für das Gute mutiert, sein Freund, der das Gute in sich erst im Laufe der Geschichte entdeckt aber vom Anfang an begeistert mit seiner grenzenlosen Energie und seinem strahlenden Optimismus (HARRISON FORD), die Heldin, die eher schmächtig und feingliedrig ist aber zäh und mutig und sooo bezaubernd, dann der väterliche Meister, der sich für das Gute opfert, die DROIDEN, die die Geschichte für Kinder (und für Kind-Gebliebene)auflockern, dem gegenüber DARTH VADER als schwarzer SAMURAI zwischen den Welten, der wie ein Vampir anderen Menschen die Lebenskraft aussaugen kann. Das IMPERIUM als Symbol für eine totalitäre Macht, die Rebellen als Symbol für das Gute, das unermüdlich für die Freiheit kämpft. Die Aussage ist naiv aber wohltuend. Und die Tricks sind auch heute noch genial! Natürlich ist die ganze Filosofie übernommen! Die Macht, die JEDI-RITTER, na ja, heute gucke ich mir das an und weiß, dass Lucas das einfach aus fernöstlichen Filosofien übernommen hat, natürlich hat er alles auf ein Minimun reduziert,aber wen stört's? Ist nicht MATRIX viel schlimmer? Wo MATRIX einfach nur heuchelt, gibt sich STAR WARS gar nicht erst den Anschein, die ganzen Details nicht übernommen zu haben. Samurais, Shaolin-Mönche, Kung-Fu-Filosofie (auf kindlichem Niveau), Cowboys (FORD!!!, Tarzan (EWOKs!!!) und und und. Und wenn schon! Es ist einfach frech gemacht, perfekt inszeniert, absolut nicht prätentiös sondern gut gemeint, und vor allem unterhaltsam. DAS IMPERIUM SCHLÄGT ZURÜCK ist inhaltlich und künstlerisch zwar den andern Teilen überlegen, ist durchweg genial, aber dafür sind sowohl EPISODE IV als auch EPISODE VI (RÜCKKEHR DER JEDI-RITTER) strahlend und voller Energie, actionreich, rasant, nicht eine Sekunde langweilig. Die Änderungen von Lucas akzeptiere ich, da es sich um sein Werk handelt und er eben dieses Recht zugestanden bekommen muss. Gestört haben mich diese Änderungen jedenfalls nicht. Vor allem in EPISODE IV fand ich die Szene mit Jabba und HARRISON FORD gelungen und passend. Und zu der Bildqualität und auch der Tonqualität kann ich nur sagen: GENIAL!!! Ich gucke hin und staune! Super! Wenn alle sich so viel Mühe geben würden, hätten wir keinen Grund mehr, uns zu beschweren und das Geld wäre immer gut angelegt. INDIANA JONES war schon ein Hammer, aber STAR WARS gehört unbedingt in jede Sammlung! Wenn sich die Kids schon nicht die Zeit nehmen, einige schöne Gedanken aus fernöstlichen Filosofien zu lesen, dann bekommen sie sie eben hier serviert. Wer STAR WARS eben diese filosofische Einfalt vorwirft, ist ein unverbesserlicher Negativ-Seher. STAR WARS ist POP-KULTUR hoch Tausend und wirkt positiv. Auch das Böse entpuppt sich als Opfer, Vater und Sohn lieben sich doch in letzter Konsequenz, die Liebe siegt, das Gute gewinnt: Ich finde solche Filme tröstlich. Denn das Drumherum (Special Effects, Kameraführung, Kulissen) ist WELTKLASSE!!! Lucas ist sicher ein großes Kind und hoffnungslos optimistisch in diesem Werk, aber ihm das vorzuwerfen, ist zu leicht. Soll man/frau sich immer das Düstere der Welt reinziehen? Da suche ich mir aber bitteschön andere Medien und ganz bestimmt nicht diese Art von Filmen. Ich genieße es einfach, STAR WARS zu sehen und mich wieder so wie ein Kind zu fühlen wie damals, als ich ungläubig das erste Mal im Kino diese sensationellen Special Effects bestaunte. Ich erinnere mich an die Eingangssequenz von EPISODE IV mit dem nicht enden wollenden Raumschiff, dann dieser unglaubliche Sound! Und dann dieses Feuerwerk an guter Laune, Abenteurlust, Humor, perfekten Tricks noch und nöcher und am Ende siegt das Gute. Schön! Mein Tipp: Kaufen und genießen! Und wer STAR WARS nicht mag, soll es eben bleiben lassen! Und wer meint, er wäre der Purist unter den Puristen und müsste Lucas abstrafen mit seiner Kritik, der sollte sich mal überlegen, wer eigentlich das Ganze erdacht und umgesetzt hat... Ich bin einfach nur froh, dass STAR WARS endlich in dieser überragenden Qualität vorliegt! Endlich muss man/frau sich nicht mehr mit der miserablen VHS-Video-Qualität herumärgern! Verglichen mit so vielen pseudo-intellektuellen Science-Fiction-Filmen heutiger Machart ist STAR WARS eine Offenbarung! Zückt die Laserschwerter und auf in den Kampf für das Kind in uns! Und vor allem danke ich Lucas ausdrücklich dafür, dass endlich, endlich diese wunderbaren Erinnerungen in einer solch superben Bild-und Tonqualität vorliegen und dann mit den unfassbar vielen Extras! Ein Hammer! Vor allem DAS IMPERIUM SCHLÄGT ZURÜCK war auf VIDEO eine einzige Katastrophe, schon vergessen? Man konnte vor allem in den dunklen Passagen oft kaum etwas erkennen. Und jetzt? Brillant restauriert! Diese TRILOGIE ist und bleibt ein absoluter Hammer! Wenn ich bedenke, wie miserabel ALIENS (Teil 2) auf DVD aufbereitet wurde, bin ich froh, dass LUCAS und SPIELBERG (INDIANA JONES, UNHEIMLICHE BEGEGNUNG DER DRITTEN ART und eben STAR WARS) sich so viel Mühe gegeben haben! Diese TRILOGIE ist ein MUSS!!! Und jeder, der diese Filme liebt, wird begeistert sein, garantiert! Die Kinofassungen werden irgendwann schon nachgeschoben, ich kann warten. KAUFEN, KAUFEN, KAUFEN!!!
