Parece ser q Lucas se dejo arrastrar por las masas y hizo una pelicula tan rosa y cheesy que solo faltaba cheerleaders.Solo le doy 2 estrellas por la pelea de Yoda. ASi que si la alquilan les recomiendo que le den FFw hasta el final, y asi no sufriran nauseas.

Second only to the Lord of the Rings trilogy

Okay, let me begin by stating that my rating for this item (five stars) is, as always with boxed sets, the average of the three items. I am a massive Star Wars fan, and I feel that this trilogy is second only to "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy from New Line Cinema. In fact, I'll go so far as to say that "A New Hope" is my fifth favorite film if all time. (That would be after the three LOTR films, Jaws, and Raiders of the Lost Ark.) I know that most people like "The Empire Strikes Back" the best, but I like "A New Hope" just slightly more. Now, I like each of the five films from greatest to least in this order.

"A New Hope" (Five Stars)
"The Empire Strikes Back" (five stars)
"Attack of the Clones" (four stars)
"Return of the Jedi" (four stars)
"The Phantom Menace" (three stars)

Other than "Episode I" which damaged the "Star Wars" legacy forever, each of these movies are monumental achievements. The effects have been redone a bit in these special editions (that monster in the sand has a mouth, The Emporer explodes when he dies, etc.), which keeps them fresh and exciting. I've always been a defender of "Return of the Jedi," and I don't understand why so many people don't like it. Admittedly, it pales in comparison to its predecessors, but its a very good film nonetheless. One thing I notice is that film trilogys usually start out very well and then get progressively worse. The Matrix trilogy is a superb example of this (even though I liked "The Matrix Reloaded" a lot.) I'm getting off topic. If you've never seen the "Star Wars" trilogy, do yourself a favor and buy this set. You should also watch the prequels, even though "The Phantom Menace" is pretty mediocre.

I still have mixed feelings...

... about this movie. I have seen the original trilogy more than 15 times and this movie 3 times so far, yet I cannot decide whether I liked it or was disappointed in it.First of all, I'm from that gang who didn't like Jar Jar (let's not use strong words here and let's not be impolite, but I DIDN'T like him). He is the equivalent of the funny characters in cartoons -- to me he was annoying and got way too much screen time.Second, I didn't like Jake Lloyd. He didn't act, period. There are so many child actors out there who are good, like that one in The Sixth Sense or the one in Harry Potter (sorry, I'm not very good with names). Those two would probably have been too old for the part, but there must be others!!Well, if you got this far, you are interested in what I have to say... I don't know WHAT I was expecting of this movie and what it should have been in order to attract and awe me like the original trilogy has. And if even I don't know, how could I ask Lucas to know?! But something was definitely missing and wrong - apart from Anakin and Jar Jar, that is. Perhaps it's the magic that a childhood fairytale has and that at a certain age you aren't able to sense anymore. Perhaps it's just Han. I don't know. I watched the movie intently everytime but it simply doesn't catch me like the old ones have. I don't get the thrills I got every time I watched those. I am unable to identify with any of the characters and care for them. I hoped, feared and rejoiced alongside Han, Luke and Leia everytime, but Obi Wan and Qui-Gon just leave me cold like I was watching some strangers.The special effects are good, we all agree about that, but perhaps they were overused... like many reviewers have said, Lucas paid more attention to them than to the story.And what about Darth Maul? (Yes, it's MAUL, not MALL or MAUI or whatever... Amazon.com should really check those spellings). He wears that ridiculous painting on his face and he's supposed to be the villain? My oh my... Now Palpatine/Sidious, THAT was a great villain...Anyway, like (almost) everybody out there I hope that Episode II will be better...

Audio Problem!

The respected DVD review site, www.thedigitalbits.com, who LucasFilm allowed to review the discs early is reporting the following.....

"In all the hype over the DVD release of Star Wars, I'm afraid to say there's a bit of bad news about the discs (or at least one of them) from a quality standpoint. We've discovered what we believe are serious audio defects on Episode IV - A New Hope. We've updated our DVD review of the set accordingly with the details as follows:

[Editor's Note: since we initially wrote this review, we've detected a number of audio/mixing errors on the DVD version of A New Hope. They are as follows:

1) The familiar Force theme trumpet fanfare that used to play right after Red Leader says: "This is it!" and just as the X-wings start diving towards the Death Star's surface has been dialed back in volume so that it's almost inaudible - it's almost completely buried in the surround mix.

2) The audio quality varies wildly as Tarkin says the line: "You would prefer another target, a military target? Then name the system." - almost as if the master sound element was damaged. It's very distracting.

3) Possibly most critically, John Williams' entire score for the film has been flipped in the rear channels, so that what should be the left rear channel is playing from the right rear channel (and vise versa). What this means is that the rear channels don't match the front channels - instruments heard from the front right channel come from the left rear instead of the right rear. Again, this is very distracting once you notice it.

These problems are certainly severe enough in our opinion to merit a repressing/exchange of the disc. We're waiting to hear back from Lucasfilm on this issue and we'll update this review with the details as soon as we do.]"
