Episode IV A New Hope
The Jedi Knights have been exterminated and the Empire rules the galaxy with an iron fist. A small group of Rebels have dared to fight back by stealing the secret plans to the Empire's mightiest weapon, the Death Star battle station. The Emperor's most trusted servant, Darth Vader, must find the plans, and locate the hidden Rebel base. Princess Leia, a captive Rebel leader, sends out a distress signal that is intercepted by a simply farm boy, Luke Skywalker. Seizing his destiny, Luke takes up the challenge to rescue the princess and help the Rebellion overthrow the Empire, along with such unforgettable allies as the wise Obi-Wan Kenobi, the cocky Han Solo, the loyal Chewbacca, and the droids R2-D2 and C-3P0
Episode V The Empire Strikes Back
It is a dark time for the Rebellion. After a devastating attack on their ice base on the frozen planet of Hoth, the Rebels are scattered by Imperial pursuit. Luke Skywalker seeks out the mysterious Jedi Master Yoda in the swamps of Dagobah, while Han Solo and Princess Leia outrun the Imperial fleet to the beautiful Cloud City of Bespin. In an attempt to convert Luke to the dark side, the evil Darth Vader lures young Skywalker into a trap. In the midst of a fierce lightsaber duel with the Sith Lord, Luke faces a terrible truth about the Skywalker legacy.
Episode VI Return Of The Jedi
In the spectacular final chapter of the Star Wars saga, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia must travel to Tatooine to free Han Solo by infiltrating the wretched stronghold of Jabba the Hutt, the galaxy's most loathsome gangster. Reunited, the Rebels team up with tribes of Ewoks to combat the Imperial forces on the forest moon of Endor. Meanwhile the Emperor and Darth Vader conspire to turn Luke to the dark side, and young Skywalker is determined to rekindle the spirit of the Jedi within his father. The Galactic Civil War culminates in the ultimate showdown, as the Rebel forces gather to attack the seemingly defenseless and incomplete second Death Star in the battle that will determine the fate of the galaxy.

The latest variations of the three classic films - 4.5 out of 5 (9/24/2004)
A few years ago there was a film that highlighted the summer of 1977, while it detailed such New York centered events like the Son of Sam serial killer and the east coast blackout, one of the most culturally important events was over looked, the premier of one of the most influential and heatedly debated films ever, Star Wars. This unexpectedly popular space odyssey was the third film of the then rising young director George Lucas. Along with the two sequels that followed, The Empire Strikes Bac

The Force Is With Us On DVD! - 4.75 out of 5 (9/24/2004)
Star Wars wasn't the first movie I saw when I was a kid, but it was the most influential. As an impressionable seven-year-old with no clear idea yet what he wanted to do with his life, George Lucas' space epic instantly turned me into a lifelong movie buff and science fiction fan.
From saving my allowance to buy my first Star Wars toy (a Kenner X-Wing Fighter), to my first record album (John Williams' double LP soundtrack), to picking up and memorizing The Art Of Star Wars book

Lucas is Pushing Me Towards the DARK SIDE - 3.25 out of 5 (10/21/2004)
I remember as a child falling absolutely in LOVE with the original Star Wars. It was unlike anything I had ever seen before, and from that moment on, I was labled as a Star Wars Freak!! Needless to say, that I have been eagerly waiting for the original trilogy to arrive on DVD. While the films do look better than ever with an awesome remastering, I am very disappointed with this release. First of all, I don't understand why Lucas does not release films with a DTS soundtrack. The 5.1 track i

What the...? - 4.75 out of 5 (10/4/2004)
Am I the only person who still sees boxes around the Tie-Fighters in the dogfight scene of "Star Wars" when Han and Luke are manning the guns? Yes the video transfer is awesome, but more time should have been spent cleaning it up then adding extra Jawas.
