Amazon.co.uk Review

This three-disc edition of George Lucas's Star Wars Trilogy is basically the same set as the previous edition minus the bonus fourth disc. That means you get the three original films--A New Hope (1977), The Empire Strikes Back (1980), and Return of the Jedi (1983)--in their brilliant-looking and -sounding DVD glory. That means you also get both the changes that were made for the 1997 special-edition versions as well as the revisions that were made for the films' DVD debut, including Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker) being added to a scene in Jedi, Ian McDiarmid (the Emperor) replacing Clive Revill with slightly revised lines in Empire, and Temuera Morrison re-recording Boba Fett's minimal dialogue, plus some other small details.

The discs don't qualify as bare-bones because they do include the commentary tracks recorded by Lucas, Ben Burtt (sound design), Dennis Muren (visual effects), and Carrie Fisher (Leia), plus Irvin Kershner added for The Empire Strikes Back. But what you lose is the fourth disc's 150-minute documentary Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy, the three substantial featurettes ("The Characters of Star Wars," "The Birth of the Lightsaber," and "The Force Is with Them: The Legacy of Star Wars"), the Xbox sampler, the no-longer-exciting Episode III preview, and other odds and ends. Star Wars aficionados will certainly stick with the four-disc set, but casual fans might be satisfied with this lower-priced version. --David Horiuchi

5.0 out of 5 stars Good basic set, 20 Nov 2005
By A Customer
These are as far as we know the same versions of the Original Star Wars Trilogy that were released last September but this set is without the 4th extra features disc. This is meant as a basic set for people who just want to see the films and dont want any extra features, this is shown in the reduced price compared to the 4 disc Boxset.

A good buy for the family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better box than the 4 disc edition, 31 Mar 2006
By D. Prieto "dandandan" (Bournemouth,UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although you are missing the bonus disc, the box is actually really cool as its an old style picture from the 70's. The 4 disc edition has a rubbish silver box. I'm not bothered about not having the bonus disc as I've seen it and whilst its good, its nothing you are likely to watch over and over. Unlike the actual films, of course, which you will watch again and again and again.....

1.0 out of 5 stars Why is the Original not on DVD, 14 Nov 2005
By A Customer
Although you would never know from the packaging, this is NOT THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF STAR WARS THAT WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE. This is the computer effect heavy 'special edition' from 1997 with EVEN MORE CHANGES. If you want the Original Star Wars on DVD, don't buy this.
