Review
I'm glad that all six Star Wars movies are on Blu-ray, but I'm not happy with some changes to the two films of the original trilogy. It includes the heroic sacrifice of one of the main characters and the scene where R2-D2 is busy hiding from the Tusken Raiders. If only the franchise's creator, George Lucas, would stop this excessive tinkering and start with improvements appropriate for Star Wars fans.

THE COMPLETE SAGA Blu-ray has stunning quality, better colour and many extras, including documentaries and deleted scenes.

Star rating: (5/5) Best Movie Set Ever

  1. I wish Lucus would just make Blu-Ray versions of the theatical cut. It would sell a ton! The only change major that I am OK is more of the Wampa in Empire Strikes Back. But I did like the CGI Yoda in Ep. 1 better the puppet.
