I'm sure most fans of star wars are aware of George Lucas' infamous "Special Edition" edits that rendered classic scenes from beloved films nearly unwatchable. Luckily, these classic films were released prior to these changes on VHS format. If you are a true fan of star wars or even of classic cinema who feels that CGI "improvements" are completely unnecessary, Buy Star wars on VHS while you can. The rich cinematography, character development, and story that made Star Wars a cultural phenomenon is present on this format alone, not on DVD as of this review. Until Disney steps up and re-releases the original trilogy on DVD, VHS, you're our only hope.

I had this exact same box set in the movie drawer of my house growing up. It then graduated to an on the shelf item as my love for Star Wars grew. After my parents split up I wasn’t sure if the box set survived the moves and shuffling of items. I thought it had been lost, but recently mom said she thinks she still has it. I have since moved far from home, and wanted a set for my own collection. It makes me smile to see it every day flanked bu some Star Wars lego sets and other collection pieces. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase and look forward to the crackly unmistakable sound of a vhs movie driving my kids nuts.

I recall watching the RotJ when I was younger, but it was the EDITED version, I realized this after doing some reading online. Why'd George have to make all these edits?! Couldn't he just leave it alone. I bought this 1995 VHS edition because it was the last trilogy collection to NOT to be EDITED by 'ol George. After watching the ORIGINAL trilogy I could finally see why the old school Star Wars fans were so disappointed with the newest additions to the franchise. Unfortunately, despite the entertaining content on these tapes, and for being new and unopened, these tapes DID NOT age well! With that said, it's NOBODY'S fault; these tapes are just OLD! There's the typical screen flickering and twitching that VHS tapes are known for, I wasn't surprised. Nevertheless I could look past the flaws and watch a piece of history.Read full review

The BEST thing a hardcore Star Wars fan could buy because it's the unedited 100% original trilogy with NO updates! It'd be great if this set was released as a special edition boxed DVD set because VHS tapes are getting more outdated.

This is the last gasp of the original vision of George Lucas's epic Star Wars that was introduced to the world in the late 1970s. For all its flaws and limitations this is the version that started it all. No McClunky here-Han shot first. If you've got an old VHS player and you love Star Wars this needs to be in your permanent collection.

I had forgotten how good the original films were.This was a trip down memory lane. I know what the intention was, but the re-edits just clogged the movies and very little was actually added. Even with the quality of VHS the movies were great.

For VHS tapes more than twenty years old, these are in fantastic condition. There are some scuffs and scratches on the boxes, but nothing that ruins the overall appearance. The tapes themselves work great, and make a fine addition to my collection.

I was anxious to find the original Star Wars for some time; I was happy to find it on eBay. I enjoyed watching the entire set, but for some reason I feel that parts were missing from the original. Although I thoroughly enjoyed them, they were definitely 'doctored'.

This 1995 release was the last official printing of the original cut. Some things like audio and video quality were enhanced but this is the last edition before the major edits started with the 1997 VHS edition. Highly recommend. Han shot first.
