What is there left to say about Star Wars that hasn't already
been said a billion times already with thousands of book written
on the subject matter? There is a reason why the Original
Trilogy is so revered by my generation. There really hadn't been
a movie quite like Star Wars before so when it hit, it hit like
an asteroid strapped to a megaton nuclear bomb. I can't even
begin to describe what an impact this movie had on me as a kid.
It was MONUMENTAL! The first time I saw this with my Mom, as
soon as we exited the theater, we went right back in line to see
it again. That's how huge this was and the line itself seemed to
be a mile long already. I didn't care. Had to see it again!!
This movie was life-changing for me in so many ways. Still the
greatest moving going experience I've ever had in my entire
life.
Rather than rehash what the story is and isn't, I rather
clarifiy my rating for this one. The 10 Stars I have is for the
Original 1977 Version of the film. But the Version that I
watched tonight was the 2004 Version with all the added footage
and whatnot. Now when I saw this version in the theater, I was
actually excited to see new scenes as well as the "lost" footage
with Han Solo (Harrison Ford) in the Jabba The Hut scene. If you
are a fan of the series, you know that the original Jabba was
played by a Human actor and not some slug-like creature. So,
this was kinda cool to see. But after seeing this new version a
few times, the luster wore off and the new scenes actually began
to bug me....a lot. And the whole "Greedo shot first" fiasco was
just dumb. I hated the scene then and I hate it now. For the
2004 Version of the film, I'd give it 4 1/2 Stars. You just
don't mess with perfection, even if there are some rough spots
that could use polishing.
Anyway, my copy of the DVD comes from the 2004 Widescreen
Trilogy Box Set. And yes, I recommend this as a Buy. Well, if
you can find the Original Films as is, by all means grab those
first. If ya can't, this Set will do. Watching this again and
every time I do, it's crazy how young Mark Hamil, Carrie Fisher
and Harrison Ford keep getting!! They were basically kids when
they made this. Gotta point out, Harrison is funny as hell in
this with his sarcasm and dry humor. He doesn't get enough
credit for the humor he brought to the role of Han Solo. One
thing I did have a problem with the Original Version is when
Chewie gets snubbed and doesn't get a medal. What the hell! (He
would get his medal some 25 years later on MTV Movie Awards
Show).
FYI, I do own the Original Film Set / Tin Can Edition from Best
Buy. I bought this when it came out. But over the years it's
become such a hot collectible (i.e. $$$$ valuable $$$$) that the
idea of tearing the Factory Seal off the Set is just too much
for me to even contemplate.

I kind of wonder when Lucas and directors think in these terms.
Storyboard it out in bit and bites and then expand on the
details?
