    I've just bought the three-disc Blu-ray set of eps IV-VI. My word, the visual remastering is superb! I don't remember it ever looking as good as this, even in the cinema! The sound has some rather powerful bass, too

    Caught a clip the other day. Amazing what they have done, looks and sounds awesome as our Atlantic cousins would say.

    Shame the films are rubbish. Buy Alien instead.

    Alien is in a very high class of films indeed, but let's not rubbish the (first three) Star Wars saga, which are great fun, started Harrison Ford's career and ended Alec Guinness', are full of Nazi empire and cowboy western allegories and look spectacular. They are sheer escapism.

    Yes i was surprised at the picture quality to. Only a few places in each film where grain become even noticeable to a greater extent & even that isn't annoying unlike some films i could mention

    Steven Spielberg take a good kicking m8 156-Kick.gif That's for War Of The Worlds on blu ray as well as Minority Report!

    Only £33 or so if you want parts IV - VI (in other words, the only good ones).

    Not forgetting the attack on the Death Star which is cribbed almost entirely from 'The Dambusters' - the overlapping squares of the targeting computer are the twin searchlights beamed down from the belly of the Lancasters, even some of the dialogue between the pilots is repeated word for word 'How many guns do you count?' etc
