Star Wars: The Complete Saga (Episodes I-VI) [Blu-ray] Reviews

Love him or loathe him, George Lucas in his various capacities as writer, producer, director, and cinematic entrepreneur has helped to change the face of American moviemaking and American movie going. The six movies branded with the Star Wars mantel contained in the recently released Star Wars: The Complete Saga box set represent the legendary filmmaker’s massive strengths and undoubted weaknesses as the creator and supreme guru of one of the most popular film franchises ever produced. That the movies are wildly erratic in quality seems to matter little to hoards of fans who literally can’t get enough of this intergalactic world, and the nine disc set as released on Blu-ray offers the viewer the best-ever representations of the films despite wildly debated changes to them since they were originally released. This review will only deal with what is here in the films and the supplements and leave arguments about the intrinsic wisdom or foolishness of tampering with the original creations for another time and place.
