Yeah yeah, so Skywalker Ranch is quadruple-dipping us. I don’t care.
Three movies. Six discs. When boxsets reach the two-discs-per-movie state, that’s critical mass. That’s when you should buy (see also: Batman Legacy vs. Anthology, Alien Legacy vs. Quadrilogy, god only knows how many Star Trek boxes have been released…). This is the Star
Wars Trilogy boxset to buy (no comments on the hexalogy box that we all know is coming…)
It also looks great next to the new prequel trilogy box.
As for the movies themselves, I was never terribly impressed with A New Hope, and I don’t understand why fans worship the Empire Strikes Back (it’s a good movie, but not THAT good), but Return of the Jedi is pretty solid, and come on… what DVD library is complete without Star Wars?
One word: buy.

Why isn’t the 1997 Special Edition on DVD?! Wasn’t it supposed to be “George Lucas’ definitive vision”?! Now he has YET ANOTHER vision of the Original Trilogy?! Why didn’t he make the prequels fit the Original Trilogy, instead of butchering the originals?! Weren’t we told that he was releasing the first versions of Episodes IV, V and VI back in 1995 “one last time”?! But no, now he’s releasing the versions he said would never again see the light of day, and what he said was the finished product is not available on DVD. I guess the word “logic” is not part of Lucas’ vocabulary…

I received this item as a gift as it was on my wish list.
When it arrived it had been shipped in a padded envelope and one corner of the item was significantly crushed.
I returned it as damaged and wrote in the comments “perhaps if the item were shipped in a box rather than an envelope it would have prevented the damage from occurring”.
When I received the replacement it did arrive in a box, however, almost as if to be sarcastic, they didn’t put any packing material in the box to prevent the item from bouncing around inside of it. Subsequently a corner of the replacement item was crushed as well although not as predominantly.
If the appearance of the box is of concern to you, I would suggest purchasing from a walk-in retailer. After receiving this set from here, I opted to buy the prequel at such a retailer.

Dear fans,
George Lucas here again. I am here to announce that unfortunately, I am incredibly broke. I need more money to add to my bank account, which is why I am releasing a 4th DVD set of the Star Wars movies. This will be the same as my wonderful other DVDs that I have re-re-released, except I have put better cover art. I sure hope my fans go out and buy this DVD, because I think they’ll dig the beautiful new cover art, even if it is something they already own. You know, I was gonna get the original negatives, since that is what the fans want. But about halfway into the meeting with Fox, I decided “To hell with it, I’m gonna rehash these DVDs I had and just re-re-release my other DVDs that fans hate.” Fox thought it was a bad idea but I decided “screw them.” Anyways, know that I need more money, and yet those who don’t have this yet BETTER get it, because if they don’t I will sneak into their house and make them like it. I mean, laserdisc transfers are so much easier than an original negative transfer. I don’t have any plans to restore them with 5.1 Surround Sound or Anamorphic widescreen from the original source. So if you’re gonna send death threats, I have four words for you: Too Bad So Sad. Pissing fans off is my job.
Yours Truly,
George Lucas.

Here’s why. Look at the above space where it says the percentage of people that ultimately buy the product. As I write this the number is 61%. That is why he does it. It’s all about the benjamins baby!!
