## Description

The 2006 limited-edition two-disc release of George Lucas's epic space fantasy Star Wars is not only the first time the movie has been officially available by itself on DVD. It marks the first-ever DVD release of Star Wars as it originally played in theaters in 1977. What does that mean exactly? Well, for starters, the initial title crawl proclaims that this is just Star Wars , not Episode IV, A New Hope . Second, the film is without the various "improvements" and enhancements Lucas added for the theatrical rerelease in 1997 as well as the DVD premiere in 2004. So no more critters and droids scurrying around the port of Mos Eisley when Luke and Obi-Wan Kenobi first arrive, no meetings between Han Solo and Jabba the Hut and between Luke and Biggs (extraneous scenes that were cut in 1977), no enhanced explosions during the final reel, and--most importantly to some fans--no more of Greedo shooting first in the bar. Instead Han is free to be the scoundrel and not even let Greedo squeeze off a shot. What do you lose by watching the 1977 version? Dolby Digital 5.1 EX sound, for one thing (only 2.0 Surround here). Digital cleanup for another--Tatooine looks like it's been coated with an additional layer of sand cloud. But for home-theater owners, the biggest frustration will be from the non-anamorphic picture. On a widescreen TV, an anamorphically enhanced (16x9) picture at a 2.35:1 aspect ratio will fill the screen with the exception of small black bars on the top and bottom. The original edition of Star Wars , however, is not anamorphically enhanced (sometimes referred to as "4:3 letterbox"), so on a widescreen TV it will have large black bars on the top, the bottom, and the sides unless you stretch the picture (and distort it in the process, especially considering the substandard picture quality). If you're watching on a standard square-shaped (4:3) TV, though, you won't notice a difference. Yes, it's true that serious home-theater lovers who want spectacular sound and anamorphically enhanced picture can always watch the 2004 version of the movie also included in this set. But chances are good that they already picked up the trilogy edition of all three films , so their decision to buy the 2006 two-disc edition depends on how much they want the original film. The official LucasFilm stance is that this is an individual release of the 2004 version of Star Wars: Episode IV, A New Hope , and the 1977 version of the film is merely a "bonus feature." Common speculation is that the only reason the original versions are seeing the official light of day at all is to undercut the booming black market for the laserdisc version. Star Wars fans will have to decide for themselves if that's worth the purchase. --David Horiuchi For the first time ever and for a limited time only, the enhanced versions of the Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi will be available individually on DVD. Plus, these 2-Disc DVD's will feature a bonus disc that includes, for the first time ever on DVD, the original films as seen in theaters in 1977, 1980 and 1983.

Review: Nothing beats the original - One of my favorite movies and favorite cinema-going experiences. Bought this dvd because it includes the original 1977 theatrical version which we fell in love with.
Review: Great movie - It's the remaster version you'd see on Disney Plus or the blu ray release, if you're looking for the 1997 release of the movie this isn't it. On the plus side it has the original 1977 release on a bonus disc and it pretty cool seeing how it was before all the re-edit's definitely worth it just for the original.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Math Lesson and a Reminiscence
*by G***D on September 14, 2006*

I don't understand how some can criticise these movies based on the aspect ratio of the picture, especially when they obviously can't do basic math. There are four different anamorphic, or widescreen, ratios on the market: 16:9, 1.77:1, 1.85:1, and 2.35:1. 1.77:1 is the closest to 16:9, converting to 15.93:9 1.85:1 converts to 16.65:9 ... so the picture is slightly taller 2.35:1 converts to 16.45:7 ... so the picture is both wider and shorter, giving it an even wider appearance For future reference for the math-impaired, the full-screen ratio of 4:3 reduces to 1.33:1. Based on silly complaints over the aspect ratio and on silly complaints about how many times Lucas will release these films (I don't see George twisting any arms, forcing people to buy them), I've given this 5-stars, to help offset such obviously whacky complaints, and because I'm simply happy to see the original releases now on DVD, and because they're simply great films! EDIT (16.09.06): Okay, so I showed my ignorance with what I wrote above and revealed that I really didn't know what "anamorphic" means. That is, until I did a little bit of research on it. But that's hardly the most important thing, is it? When the first Star Wars film came out, my family had just returned to the US after living in England for 3 years. I was 17, about to start my senior year of high school, and sitting in my grandparents' living room when I saw the first trailer on TV, and I knew right then that I just HAD to see this movie! I for one don't care that these aren't anamorphic or that they don't have 5.1 surround. I haven't even the equipment to enjoy such things. All I wanted was the original films, without the additions found in the later releases, and in widescreen format (letterbox or otherwise and no matter what the bloody aspect ratio, as long as it's not 4:3). I have them in widescreen on VHS, and now I've got them in widescreen on DVD (I think the full-screen format, which these are not, absolutely ruins the composition and art of the original image of any film). With a 31" Hitachi "old fashioned" TV -- a TV that is now going on 12 years old, as a matter of fact -- I'm quite happy with what I've got. It's the stories that I love, not the technology that delivers them. I think that's what has bothered me about a lot of the reviews. People are not sounding like they really wanted the original films on DVD. What they wanted and what they love are the bells and whistles, and now they're pissed that no bells are ringing and that the whistles are lacking those little balls inside. They criticise George for 'hacking' up the original films with those admittedly horrid additions, and they criticise George for going hog-wild with CGI graphics in the most recent trilogy, and then they show themselves as guilty as George of the same sins when what they moan about is the lack of technology with this release. George forgot that the story is primary in his lust for technology (especially with the last three films), and the same now seems to be true of many others. As a writer of fiction, I think that's sad. Story HAS to be more important than anything else. Without that, movies, stage plays, TV shows, novels, and short stories are just a huge waste of time and money. With these DVDs (I purchased all three), you get the original films, and you get them in widescreen format. For me, those are the most important things. If what you want are electronically simulated bells and CGI rendered whistles (who needs those annoying little balls anyway when you can generate them with a computer?), then move on to the next stall. Otherwise, what you'll find here are good, old-fashioned cracked bells, and plastic whistles with plastic balls, but at least you'll know they're the genuine articles, and not "authentic replicas."
