Star Wars: The Complete Saga - Episodes I-VI [6DVD] (English audio. English subtitles)

The Six films all together.Love that it is on Bluray now.I have loved Star Wars since I was little and have forgotten how many times I have bought it now but getting the Bluray version was certainly worth it.When Star Wars started we all thought it was the story of Luke Skywalker. Now we know it is the story of Anakin Skywalker.Episode One The Phantom Menace, sees Anakin as a child and how he escaped his existence on Tatooine. It shows the beginnings of Obi Wan and you get to see his master in this episode too.Episode 2 Attack of the Clones sees an older Anakin and his master Obi Wan come back to Coruscant and get assigned to protect the Senator of Naboo. In this story Anakin gets closer to his destiny.Episode 3 Revenge of the Sith sees Anakin become Darth Vadar. Becomes the beginning of the end.Episode 4 - Star Wars A New Hope, Episode 5 - Empire Strikes Back and Episode 6 Return of the Jedi.Star Wars trilogy gave us Luke Skywalker, Leia and Han Solo, Chewie, R2 and C3PO. It was filmed before the first 3 and are icons in the film world.Luke dreams of being somewhere else, doing something else. His wishes come true when he gets mixed up in the Rebels. They fight the Empire for freedom. Luke discovers who he should be thanks to Obi Wan. He also finds out about Darth Vadar and deals with it the best he can. The story continues in The Force Awakens which is not part of this pack but worth the look.Bonus 2 Discs - Interviews, deleted scenes, 360 turnarounds, video commentaries, Overviews, Concept Art, for Coruscant, Naboo, Tatooine and Geonosis, Utapau, Mustafar and Kashyyyk and Order 66.Bonus disc 3 contains the Making of Star Wars, Empire's SPFX, Classic Creatures from Jedi. Anatomy of a Dewback, Star Warriors, Star Wars Tech, A conversation with the Masters. Star Wars Spoofs.Star Wars is such a big part of the world but if you don't know it is a Science Fiction set of movies that chart the life of Anakin Skywalker.I lived with it most of my life so I suppose I am bias, but it is one of the best Science Fiction series of films I have ever seen.The effects were ahead of their time. Still standing up to this day. The story and the characters draw you in. The machines and the robots are incredible. The creatures are fantastic. Young or old, Star Wars is something the whole family can enjoy. I love this set and will treasure it.The video and sound are amazing especially on the older films. The extras are incredible and is a must for any Sci Fi Fan.

No comment on the movie content, I'm not a film critic and everybody in the world has an opinion on Star Wars! ;-)I bought an Epson EH-TW6600 projector last month and it really highlights the difference in image quality between DVDs and Blu-Ray. I had Episodes 1-6 on DVD box sets but decided to splash out on the Blu-Ray version because the DVD format looked annoyingly ropey (I don't consider myself an AV connoisseur or perfectionist either). I'm glad I did and if you view on large format then so will you be :-)There is plenty of bonus material to amuse, inform and delight fans but bear in mind that some of these documentaries were filmed around the time the original trilogy were released, i.e. late 1970s and early 1980s in U.S. television format which is lower lines than European. The combined effect is a very disappointing viewing experience that is only slightly offset by the charm and enthusiasm of Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher and the wonder of the newness of the global phenomenon. One of these documentaries is presented by Carrie Fisher who would be maybe 20 at the time who managed to smoulder and look wholesome at the same time.Buy, watch, enjoy folks and may the remastered high resolution force be with you!

While otherwise satisfied with the Complete Saga, I am disappointed with the alterations made to the soundtrack of Star Wars Episode 2 since I last watched it back in the 2000s, the change was done in a very noticeable way and for someone who grew up as a Star Wars fan it's difficult to ignore the unnecessary removal of such an iconic piece of music, and it's removal from Episode 2 is unjustified, keeping the piece of music in question in Episode 2 would not have had any negative impact on it's use in Episode 3. I know it might seem like a small thing but the soundtrack actually does make a big difference to the experience, and I preferred the original.

This Star Wars Blu-Ray set is pretty much perfect. The films look incredibly crisp and the audio is fantastic. The bonus features are insightful and much of the material presented here was new to me despite owning the films on VHS and DVD in the past.As for the films themselves, I love the original trilogy, and none of the changes made to the most modern versions of these films can change that. Would I ike to see the original versions available on Blu Ray? You bet I would. However, many of the changes made to the films as a presented on this set are actually improvements on the originals and I am happy with how the films exist at present.The sequel trilogy is a mixed bag and I find my view on these films changing over time. With the latest viewing I actually found myself enjoying The Phantom Menace a lot more than I remember. Attack Of The Clones fares much worse and, I think, hasn't stood the test of time particularly well. The crisp nature of the Blu Ray format really shows off just how much of this film relies on green screen locations and everything about the film feels unnatural and has an unreal quality to it. As such, my most recent viewing felt like a bit of a slog and I found it difficult to re-connect to any of the characters. The popular wisdom is that Revenge Of The Sith is the best of the bunch and I tend to agree. While the quality of acting and directing is questionable, it has the most coherent plot and it progresses at quite a clip.The packaging is minimal but this is a welcome change from the previous DVD collection which took up an unnecessarily large amount of space on my storage shelf.All in all, this is the perfect set for anyone looking to add the first six Star Wars films to their Blu Ray collection.
