Luke , Yo soy tu Padre! It was a Long time in coming, however, now the DVD dream is a reality! I was expecting for the set to be released after Revenge of The Sith, thakfully Lucas gave in to preasure and we have the set for our digital viewing pleasure. First off, we all know by now that this set is not going to make all purists happy since our last chance to get these films untouched was back in 1995 with the THX transfers. In addition, we all know that there is a hardcore group of nerds that like to see George Lucas put on trial for treason after doing the major overhaul on Episode IV. With that said, after this new prequel trilogy, The first STAR WARS can now better stand next to them. Hell, the first was far from what we saw in EMPIRE And JEDI, in terms of specail FX! It need touching . . . and not in the Michael Jackson kind of way! A NEW HOPE is a joy to watch on my big screen. The sound makes my windows rattel. The Specail Edition parts are better than in 1997 with a a Jabba The Hut that is closer to the one that appeared in Episode I. I know the Catina shooting scene is still in there. Much to the dismay of nerds still living in their parents basements. But, this is a much better presentation than what was transfered onto VHS. Some parts don't match the rest of the film, I know, yet it's still better and closer to what Lucas wanted in the first place. The other two films are just as packed with sound and refinments that, in my opinion were not fully finished in their 1997 re-release. The blue screen problems that were never really fixed ( even though They said they were)In the hoth scene are gone. No AT-AT legs overlapping through the cockpit canopy. The only thing that bugged me was the new over dubs for Bobba Fett. It makes sense to use Jango's, but, the old voice had a grit to it that is kinda lost. The big thing that made no sense was to give poor dialogue to the revised scene where Vader learns that Luke is his son. Again, I see the point in making Palpatine like he did the other films. It just stuck out like a gay man at a G. W. Bush rally. the new lines kinda take away from the fact that we were kinda let to believe that Vader was obbsessed with finding Luke becuase he already knew he had a son fighting against him. Now to JEDI, still contains of the best dog fight scene's in motion picture history. On the techinal side all the blue screen stuff is smoother. No lines at all to tell this was superimposed. Another thing that was never really fixed in 1997 was the Rancor pit scene with Luke. You could still see the heavy black lines on the monster. All gone now . . . thank God! Some people don't like the new young jedi Anakin at the end. But, I thought it was touching for Luke to see the man that was and only heard about. If you're going to get this set, and you damn well should, get it on Widescreen. For those of use that lived on Fullscreen for 25+ years one would be astonished on how so much was cut off the sides or Pan scanned out of our view. It's almost like watching a whole new trilogy! Don't forget, this has the trailers, TV spots, "Empire Of Dreams", a look at the new movie, and the demo for the "Battlefront" game for the X box!
