I hadn't watched this movie series for a very long time, and found myself enjoying it -- not only as much as I had in its original release at movie theaters, but from an entirely new level of appreciation. How far we have come in CGI when compared to the original Star Wars series, but more importantly, there is an extra appreciation level for how very innovative and creative the Lucas team was during those early years -- a classic story line of good versus evil, the characters of the story, the special effects, costuming, movie sets, etc. Truly, there is little wonder that this first Star Wars trilogy is a classic for all time and all audiences!

The price was fair but upon trying to watch them, the discs were so scratched up and covered in a sort of chem film they were almost white. Not even reflective at that point until I took them to a media store and had them buffed enough to work properly. Overall I am unhappy because the fair price went to unfair once I had to have them professionally repaired at a cost so they would work.

I decided to buy the DVD set of all six episodes of Star Wars when my grandsons became interested in Star Wars after having played the Lego Star Wars game on Playstation 2. So it seemed like a natural time to introduce them to the original Star Wars episodes. I was not thrilled upon receiving the discs to see that the packaging was not in English but rather in Japanese or Chinese, I'm not sure which. Thank goodness there was an English subtitle on each disc so I knew which episode it was. Also all six discs were in a flimsy soft plasic sleeve that went inside a large hard plastic case rather than a hard case for each individual disc. Putting aside my dislike of the look of the product, the discs play well and the price was definitely reasonable. You are able to choose between English or the foreign version on most of the discs. Subtitles are automatically present on some discs and on others you can choose whether or not you want them on. Subtitles were helpful when some characters were speaking as otherwise you were not able to make out what they were saying. I did not like when a character "moaned" for instance and "moaned" was put in the subtitle however. I gave this product a good rating because I bought the product for my own use, and if you are able to overlook the packaging and subtitles running on the bottom of your screen then I think for the money you are getting a good deal. I think one might want to weigh in the pros and cons of all of the above before giving it as a gift though.Read full review
We bought this original trilogy, (4,5 & 6), on VHS tapes many years ago. We`ve found the first three on DVD`s, (1,2 & 3), at the goodwill over the last few years, but could never find the original first three. Very good images in your listing. Discs and sleeves are in very good condition -- Thank You

This is a great deal for this classic trilogy. One weird glitch...the conversation between Han and Greedo in Star Wars is missing the subtitles, so you cannot understand what Greedo is saying. This is an important conversation as it plays out throughout the entire trilogy. Other than that...no complaints!
