For the first time ever, all six of George Lucas' incredible Star Wars films have been collected together in one amazing box set. The whole saga is here, looking and sounding better than ever before on blu-ray. What we have here are the special editions of each movie, complete with extra/extended scenes from some of the theatrical releases and extra CGI effects particularly for episodes IV-VI. Some of these films differ from their previous outings on DVD. Most notably, the puppet Yoda from The Phantom Menace has been replaced with a CGI version, as was the original intention of George Lucas at the time. It looks also as if some of the CGI aspects have been refined and updated. These movies look absolutely stunning on blu-ray. Watching them on a widescreen TV in high-definition is truly the way these movies were meant to be seen. The images are razor sharp and the sound on these discs are crystal clear. Aside from the incredible movies, we also get three discs of bonus material. These are a mix of new and contemporary interviews, conceptual artwork, SFX features and loads more. One of the highlights for me was a couple of deleted scenes which have never been available before, most notably Luke Skywalker's original introduction in Return of the Jedi where he, C3PO and R2D2 prepare for Han Solos rescue mission. As a fan, I had heard of this scene before, but never imagined I'd ever get to see it. This for me was the icing on the cake. Another highlight for me was a lengthy feature containing some of the very best Star Wars spoofs, some fan made and some professional. Over a ninety minute period we get classic parodies from the likes of Family Guy, Saturday Night Live, The Muppets and many, many more. While this is the definitive Star Wars box set (at least for now), there are a few minor disappointments. I for one, would have liked to have seen included the original theatrical releases for episodes IV-VI without the copious CGI elements. Even though there are lots of extra features on this box set, I would have liked material that had been previously released on DVD to have been included on this set, such as the hour long making of featurette originally released on The Phantom Menace DVD. As such, these omissions prevent this from feeling like a truly complete set, but certainly the best we've seen so far. Aside from what I've already mentioned, you also get an individually numbered Star Wars film cell and a booklet filled with original Star Wars artwork with this set. As this is a limited edition set, it isn't going to be around forever, so I would get hold of a copy whilst you can. So, if you are a Star Wars fan, this is certainly a must own box set. I can guarantee it is a film set that you will keep going back to again and again. Top marks.Read full review

I had looked at this boxset years ago but I wasn't keen enough to buy it at full price so I bought another Blueray boxset but that's only the original films. But this one came up I decided to get it so that I could get the whole story. The quality of boxset is very good and is a joy to behold as when you compare it with the dvd version there is a marked difference and the sound definitely better but it does depend on your equipment.

This Star Wars box set with the numbered film cell is a must own for any Star Wars fan. The box set is sturdy with great illustrations. It can now be picked up for a very good price especially to have the first 6 films on blu ray with 3 discs of Extras.
