Star Wars Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980 & 2004 Versions, 2-Disc Widescreen Edition) description
The 2006 limited-edition two-disc release of The Empire Strikes Back is not only the first time the movie has been officially available by itself on DVD. It marks the first-ever DVD release of Empire as it originally played in theaters in 1980. What does that mean exactly?

To everyone complaining about the non-anamorphic transfer for the orginal DVDs...stop it! Don't you remember a time when it looked like that George Lucas wasn't even going release the original versions? George Lucas was obviously trying to throw a bone to the fans when he release these DVDs and I for one am grateful for them. He didn't have to release the orginal versions and he may not do it again, so this should be considered a gift.
However, I do dock the DVDs two stars, one because both Steven Spielberg and Ridley Scott released the original and special versions of Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Blade Runner, respectively. Ridley Scott, in particular, didn't like the original cut of Blade Runner, so he could've easily have ruined the presentation of the original cut, but he didn't for the fans of the film. In that respect, George Lucas could've done a better job with his original versions and therefore see the point of view of those unhappy with these releases, but I still appreciate George Lucas for even touching the orginal versions again.
My only real complaint, and reason for the lack of another star, is that these sets are what should've been in the earlier boxset. That way, we get the 2004 version, the 1977, 1980, 1983 version of the films, and the bonus disc with the documentry. I had to go to the Amazon Marketplace to get the bonus disc. Personally, this bugs me more than the presentation of the original versions.
As for the films themselves, they are awesome. They all have great stories and great characters. No matter what version you are watching, these are great films. I would recommend any one of them. They are great. Buy these DVDs and enjoy three of the greatest sci-fi films ever. While these wasn't the best releases, they are still worth the buy, or you can get the box set if you are more worried about the documentry and special features. |
