Thumbs up Exclusive Star Wars Trilogy DVD Review
AV Forums has released a world exclusive review of the new Star Wars DVD Trilogy. AV Forums is the newest member of the Home Theater Alliance and is the UK's #1 audio visual consumer electronics forums. The folks over there are very friendly and this review of the new Star Wars DVD box set has got some excellent screenshots that you should not miss! here's a sneak peek excerpt: So how do the films look in terms of video transfer? Breathtaking is the reply. All three films have been totally cleaned and restored, there are no signs of dirt or grain present in the print. The images on all three also looks super sharp, as if they had been filmed yesterday! Skin texture is stunning, details just jump out of the screen, edges are sharp without any edge enhancement being seen. Colours are just so rich and vivid that you just can’t believe all these films are over twenty years old. The clean up work done here is excellent. The most impressive part of this is shadow detail, look at the Canteena scene, look at the garbage compressor, Darth’s breathing chamber and the rancor pit, there is simply a ton of detail to be seen that I was blown away, totally.

Read the Review

I'm not ashamed to admit that your review is giving me wood! Uh, can I say that in a family forum?

Star Wars on DVD, but only the special editions?
I just can't get excited about that.

Maybe if it were the true originals without the cheesy extras --yeah, that's right, I called them cheesy!!
I especially hate the fact that Luke screams like a sissy in Empire when he chooses to fall rather than join the Dark Side with his father.

well, sorry to bring this party down....

Default Luke Screaming
I read on another review that they removed Luke screaming so that helps in my decision to purchase this set, which as of now after hearing that I will definately make a purchase

I will go rent the new edition to see just how bad or good it really is. As of now my expectations are so low that I might just be impressed.

Got the set yesterday. The pq is awesome! The sound isn't shabby either. I would have prefered to get the originals, but I heard no good negative exists to create the DVDs from. Two thumps up!

Picked the pack up yesterday... wow! All of the added effects from 1997 have been enhanced even further and blend so much better! I still despise the ROTJ Jabba's Palace "dance number" and the ROTJ ending celebration music. The original Ewok music was more than appropriate...

However, the rest of the movies never looked or sounded so good. Not even the 1997 theatrical release had this level of visual quality. The colors and detail are extreme! Beautiful!

Got mine yesterday at Wal-Mart for $42... still shrinkwrapped until Friday when I'll be having a movie night showing of Star Wars at my home. 100" screen showing of Episode IV - I love home theater!
