Star Wars Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)

Joy! Another Cash in DVD.

I love the Star Wars movies. They have proven to be the greatest Sci-fi movies ever and I love them.

I own the movies DVD and VHS. I own the 1977 versions on VHS AND the 1997 versions. And trust me, the 1997 version was NOT needed, yet they still proved to be good.

Now there's this "2004 Special Version" that was relesed over a year and a half ago. This is NOT the special edition, IT'S THE EXACT SAME THING AS THE THEATRICAL 1977 VERSION, just with bad CGI effects added in.

Lucas, STOP CONTRADICTING YOURSELF. Us fans have already seen the 1977 versions and we don't need another cut. You just want our money, no matter what currency. We already have seen what we need to see.

Now, I own 2 VHS sets and 2 DVD sets. I feel I wasted my money on the 2004 Special Editions. Plus, the other DVD set showed the films the way they were meant to be seen: 5.1 Surround Sound, Anamorphic Widescreen, and amped up picture.

In Closing: DAMNIT LUCAS, LEAVE IT THE HELL ALONE!!!!!! February 1, 2008

Spectacular!

Seeing this at home on my big plasma with the enhanced sound was nearly as spectacular as it was in theaters.
A great job!

Star Wars VI

All of the reviews for Star Wars - the original trilogy say that this one was loopy because of the Ewoks. I enjoyed it however, it had it's moments. The enhanced version helps to show more of the City in the Sky and makes it more realistic than the original. Overall - a good movie and a good ending. I like the way the enhanced version updates for the new characters in the Episodes 1-3.

Buy the VHS

I now own 5 versions of this film, and this is the first time I truely felt like I wasted my money. Each version I had previously purchased had been a clear upgrade in quality from past versions, and I was so excited to see the original theatrical versions (as they should be seen)finally available on DVD. Sadly, the picture and sound quality on this is worse than my VHS versions from the 80s. This set is a total rip off and George should be ashamed of himself. October 3, 2006

You're throwin' away a fortune here, don't be a fool

The only reason a fan is tempted to buy these dvds in the first place is for the "bonus" discs, so the original theatrical versions are the ones to which I am referring. I made a big mistake yesterday when I dropped sixty plus on what I suspected might be trash. Video quality is horrible. Gritty and grainy with horizontal lines in places, vertical in others. Don't be like me and jump at the chance to get these. Let them rot on the shelves. I was a believer that these couldn't possibly be as bad as everyone said. Now I must admit that I was wrong. I have no complaints about the sound, but the picture made me wake up with a headache which still lingers even as I write this. Save your hard-earned cash and join the crusade to get these done right. September 15, 2006
