Awesome Movie    January 6, 2009
Mauro
This movie, and the other part of the trilogy, as well, are the best of Lucas Film.

This time the movie was re-edited and digital improvement helping you to see in the new format of DVD and TV.

I bought this one and the other of the trilogy to have all the original in my house... and because now are seeing them by my son.


My Favorite Movie, Both Versions Are Worth Having!    December 16, 2008
CFH (Blue Ridge Summit, PA USA)
To me, "Star Wars Episode IV" is Star Wars. I saw the origional release at a Drive In when I was 13 years old and have rewatched the movie (in it's various releases) no less than 30 times since. We have actually worn out a VHS copy of Star Wars because my kids also watched it over and over.

Star Wars was really the first of it's kind. The special effects and production quality were cutting edge. The script was strong and the acting was mostly great.

Get this set, enjoy both versions, share it with you friends and family!

One of my favorite Sci-Fi Movies    November 22, 2008
Marianne Hart
Star Wars 4 Limited Edition includes the original theatrical release and the 2004 tweaked version. There are some fans who refuse to watch the 2004 edition. They prefer the original version where Han shoots first. Then there are people who prefer the 2004 release because it looks more realistic and updated. This DVD will please both fans.
The only reason this DVD does not get five stars is the lack of special features. There are no deleted scenes or inside looks. It just includes commentary.
If you already own the 2004 DVD, it is up to you if you want to spend 15 dollars on the original. You might want to wait for the Absolute Blu Ray Star Wars Episode 1-6 set becasue it will probably be made.
Note: For those of you with widescreen tvs, you will have to zoom in on the original disc because it is non-anaphormic. No biggy.


Episode IV: A New Hope (Be thankful)    October 25, 2008
Jerod (Wisconsin)
I am also perplexed at the many whining reviews of this DVD set. I understand that LucasFilm had originally said that they would never release the original theatrical release on DVD, but they did, and we should be thankful, even if it isn't "perfect." All the whining isn't going to persuade Mr. Lucas to restore the original to modern-day brilliance. I think it adds a bit of charm to the set. Like an old-time movie, which it is becoming, and plot changes or significant editing to the story-lines are not always good, but Mr. Lucas does have a right to edit his movies as he sees fit. And again: MR. LUCAS DID NOT HAVE TO RELEASE THE ORIGINAL, UNEDITED TRILOGY. I'm just thankful that they released the original with English subtitles.

STAR WARS! Or Episode IV: A New Hope as it's now known. It's one of greatest films ever, barnone! May the force be with you, always.
