0ur opinion: :This 2OO5 three-disc edition of George Lucas's
Star Wars Trilogy is basically the same set as the 2OO4 edition minus the bonus fourth disc. That means you get the three original films--
A New Hope (1977),
The Empire Strikes Back (198O), and
Return of the Jedi (1983)--in their brilliant-looking and -sounding DVD glory. That means you also get both the changes that were made for the 1997 special-edition versions as well as the revisions that were made for the films' DVD debut, including Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker) being added to a scene in
Jedi, lan McDiarmid (the Emperor) replacing Clive Revill with slightly revised lines in
Empire, and Temuera Morrison rerecording Boba Fett's minimal dialogue, plus some other small details.
The discs don't qualify as bare-bones because they do include the commentary tracks recorded by Lucas, Ben Burtt (sound design), Dennis Muren (visual effects), and Carrie Fisher (Leia), plus lrvin Kershner added for
The Empire Strikes Back. But what you lose is the fourth disc's 15O-minute documentary
Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy, the three substantial featurettes ('The Characters of
Star Wars,' 'The Birth of the Lightsaber,' and 'The Force ls with Them: The Legacy of
Star Wars'), the Xbox sampler, the no-longer-exciting
Episode lll preview, and other odds and ends.
Star Wars aficionados will certainly stick with the four-disc set, but casual fans might be satisfied with this lower-priced version.

* This was so much fun! ...
lt had been years since seeing this series on the equipment we had back then, an audio-cassette player. So, we played tapes. l sold the tapes several years ago to 1/2 Price Book Stores.
Because l am technologically challenged, l ordered the DVDs in full screen. Still, they were wonderful and my husband and l sat on the couch, enthralled at revisiting the series. Sound is just great, pictures clear.
l heartily recommend this series. Thanks for the memories.
