1.0 out of 5 stars WARNING !!! - NOT the Holy Grail after all, May 27 2006

By

This review is from: Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope [IMPORT] (DVD)

The 1977 theatrical version of Star Wars in this set, which countless have been waiting years for, is an inferior transfer. It is being made from an old 1993 laserdisc master and it's NOT anamorphic/16x9 enhanced, which is completely unacceptable for a DVD in 2006. I certainly expected better from LucasFilm.

1.0 out of 5 stars Young fans today begin to lose interest., Aug 18 2002

This review is from: Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (Special Edition) (VHS Tape)

It's too bad that George Lucas makes Episode IV so precious. It has taken him to release this movie on DVD so long that many wouldbe/couldbe fans have begun to lose interest. There are other more recent films which compete to establish themselves in the psyche of the public (Lord of the Rings to name a recent example). Many kids and young adults weren't even around with the original Star Wars was released and don't know what the hype is all about and frankly many of them don't care. At this point, the longer George Lucas holds out, the more he is liable to lose money in sales. After all, despite what he says...it really is all about money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, but for the maniacs only, Sep 20 2006

This review is from: Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (Widescreen Limited Edition) (DVD)

I am so pleased be finally able to rediscover Star Wars the way I saw it for the first time but I can't felicitate George Lucas for delivering a so poor DVD edition. The least he should have done is restoring the movie properly so it would have looks better than an old VHS tape (after all, he is known to be so obsessive with hi-tech) and add some substantial extras such as archive documentaries, theatrical trailers, and even an introduction where he could have explained why he is so unhappy with this version and wanted to make it disappear (in that context, the presence of the 2004 cut on disk one will have found a reason to be included).

I seriously doubt this is really the last time we will got the chance to own the original versions of the original trilogy on DVD knowing only fools never change their mind and how much money can be made by re-releasing the same movie in many different ways (Lucas is not a fool and he is a tough businessman). So, if you are Star Wars maniac like me you will enjoy these Limited Editions anyway despite their flaws but if you are a "moderated" fan and already got the 2004 Box set you should wait until a definitive DVD edition see the day of light to upgrade.
