PLEASE feel free to write reviews for them and I will post them in the next update!!

Please include stuff like Audio,Subtitles and errors




I don't actually have acess to the 5-star, though I would like to find them to have the original versions of the special editions (sheesh). Prillaman's reviews just seem to indicate it to be the best of the SE boots.

I haven't watched all of the 7 DVDr version, but I have seen the special features disc, all of Star Wars and the first disk of Empire. The short review - people have said that the contrast on this set is wrong (too high) and I would agree. There is a lot of movement in the screen, and the picture quality really doesn't look very good if you are close to the TV. From standard viewing distance, it looks fine, probably comparable to the VHS or a little better (though I actually wouldn't feel comfortable saying better without doing a direct comparison). They do have audio commentary (on the menu screen you can basically choose to just play the movie, or play it with commentary). There are some flaws in the first disk of Empire - there is an occassional line in the lower black bar, at least on the set I have seen. If I get a chance, I'll try to come up with actual details for you.

I have some camera phone shots of the discs and packaging of this set ... I could email them if you want to see them.
