Well this is what I just wrote amazon on the link above for customer suggestions about the site

Please drop the reviews of the videotapes from your reviews for the Star Wars boxset. They are different and while you do have that "this refers to the VHS edition", factoring in the review or the score is not appropriate here.

The versions are considerably different. It makes sense to mix when 1. They are essentially the same 2. There is a low volume of total reviews 3. People may not know much about the film

In this case none of those are true, with 1300 reviews total, we could pull out the hundreds that refer strictly to the boxset. There have been many technical chages to these film (many for the better) there have been many additions (many for the worse) and many things left off (the Original Films). Further it is being reported that there are audio issues with "A New Hope".

Please seperate these out. The reviews that stick to the top are one that are refering to the VHS tapes (The original theatrical cut, not the Special Edition of 1997). Ones that have 300+ comments, so those have very little bearing here.

I do appreciate that you do make mention in your own review about the changes, but I still think with your number one selling DVD and the something that attracts so much attention this should be considered.

Thank You.
