4.0 out of 5 stars A* for the transfer, but Mr Lucas gets an F, 18 Sep 2011
By 
This review is from: Star Wars: The Original Trilogy (Episodes IV-VI) [Blu-ray] [1977] (Blu-ray)
Pretty much all of the review material here revolves around George Lucas' continuing tinkering with our most beloved sci-fi classics. What we have here for this release is essentially the Special Editions with a few changes here and there, and a couple of scenes in particular (which I see no need to describe again) which have most fans in an unholy uproar. These `tweaks' are undoubtedly unnecessary and do nothing to improve the films whatsoever. Lucas would do very well to remember the old adage; `If it ain't broke, don't fix it'. We've been here before of course, in 1997. Whether or not we'll ever see a blu-ray edition of the original films is anybody's guess. Lucas himself has been quoted as saying that the original versions are gone forever.

Thus with all the talk of Mr Lucas, crazed and demented by power, hacking his classics to pieces, I had deepest concerns prior to watching the trilogy this weekend. But any doubts quickly slipped away as I watched the quite incredible Empire Strikes Back. This is my favourite by a country mile, and the only one of the trilogy that is quite brilliant on every level, but the blu-ray transfer for all three films is superb, in terms of both picture and sound quality, and among the very best I've seen. It took me back 25 years, as if I was watching again for the first time. We may have our gripes, but let them not rob you of the opportunity of watching these great family films in utterly astonishing detail and clarity.

Plaudits then, go not to Lucas but to the team responsible for the work to upgrade these films to HD. These are the folk who have rescued this most anticipated of releases from becoming a total car crash. It's a remarkable job, and makes it well worth the upgrade, despite the tinkering.

And at least we don't have to purchase the abominable prequel trilogy.

2.0 out of 5 stars 'Original' trilogy - If only! Should be title 'the re-edited re-edit of the remix of a story from a long long time ago', 15 Oct 2011
This review is from: Star Wars: The Original Trilogy (Episodes IV-VI) [Blu-ray] [1977] (Blu-ray)
I was tempted to purchase this until I had a look at this on a mate's TV. Transfer looks good, but the various rehashes just make me laugh. And no 'original' versions included! I really liked the original theatrical releases, especially episode IV, but this one always seems to get the grade A butchers treatment. If a film was made 5-10 years ago, then added CGI would not look too far out of place. But they were not and adding CGI to a film made 35 years ago just, well looks comical to say the least. If you have no objection to these constant changes & added bits, then by all means purchase. I wont be though as I've just picked up all 3 2006 double disc DVDs of episodes IV-VI, which include the original theatrical versions [or the closest to them in digital format] from a charity shop for £1 per set. I then transferred all 3 theatrical versions to my computer and put together my own dual layer DVDs. Slightly adjusted the colour, and ensured the films kept their screen ratio [2.35:1] while making the DVDs 16:9 anamorphic. Subtitles had to be repositioned as they were originally placed for 4:3 ratio not 16:9. They play just like any other 2.35:1 ratio DVD with just black bars top & bottom. Now these versions are not HD, but for me they are a pleasure to watch compared to any of the nice'n'shiny added CGI versions.

Greedo does not even shoot, as it was originally, and as it should still be. This was true Solo, a space criminal with a bounty on his head, not about to take any chances on the fact that he may be shot. Get rid of the enemy before they have the chance to shoot you. That was Han's mentality. The various re-edits of this scene takes away this important part of Han's character.

I give the box set 2 stars just for the PQ.

Both Close Encounters & Blade Runner have had various re-edits over the years, but both do include their original theatrical versions in their HiDef releases.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wrong again, 6 Sep 2011
This review is from: Star Wars: The Original Trilogy (Episodes IV-VI) [Blu-ray] [1977] (Blu-ray)
Changes. Again.

We want the original, unaltered theatrical cut of Star Wars! we want it despite its aging, despite it's now evident flaws, but also with the great effects, quotes, and music, scenes that made us dream!!!

I cannot understand what George Lucas is making with his classic movies. Maybe he needs to keep some of his companies working, otherwise it does not make sense at all.

Making all these senseless changes is something not acceptable. Please take them back.

I don't mind what he does with his recent trilogy because I did not like it at all, but I really mind when someone messes with classic movies, and when he does not give us the chance to watch them the way they were meant to be watched. The way they were shown at the theaters for the first time. The way we love them.

I can only quote what George Lucas himself said, not so long ago, in this very same world....

"People who alter or destroy works of art and our cultural heritage for profit or as an exercise of power are barbarians, and if the laws of the United States continue to condone this behavior, history will surely classify us as a barbaric society.

In the future it will become even easier for old negatives to become lost and be "replaced" by new altered negatives. This would be a great loss to our society. Our cultural history must not be allowed to be rewritten.

Attention should be paid to this question of our soul, and not simply to accounting procedures. Attention should be paid to the interest of those who are yet unborn, who should be able to see this generation as it saw itself, and the past generation as it saw itself."

-- George Lucas's 1988 speech to the U.S. Congress
