Given that it's largely credited with reinventing Hollywood--or at least fostering its overweening box office expectations--it's hard to imagine that the genesis of George Lucas' sprawling, multi-billion dollar Star Wars franchise was once considered a risky studio proposition at best. But Lucas himself has wisely singled out the robust, retro-romantic music of composer John Williams as the unlikely artistic linchpin that holds all of the saga's disparate dramatic, thematic and technical elements firmly together. Boxed together here then are three of the most successful and influential film scores of modern Hollywood, work that draws as much on Williams' masterful sense of classical music history as it does his own well-studied melodic and arranging instincts. Each of the three double-disc collections here contains all of the music written for Star Wars: A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi (and even Alfred Newman's intyroductory "Fox Fanfare"), newly upgraded via Direct Stream Digital remastering that adds stunning new presence and clarity to Williams' rousing, epochal scores. Each chapter also features a lenticular 3-D cover and newly designed fold-out film poster, as well as encoded disc features allowing online access to elaborate new Star Wars screen savers; the ultimate musical compendium of the original Star Wars triptych. --Jerry McCulley

Summary: AMAZING STAR WARS BOX SET 2010-07-13
Comment: This Star Wars Trilogy box set is amazing, the detail and artwork inside is worth the money alone. All of the music is quite fantastic. I have the original chrome box set of the movies and this adds to the same 1997 release. Very good product, a must have for any Star Wars geek.

Summary: Amazing Set!!! 2009-12-29
Comment: HOLY CRAP! That's really all I can say about this amazing set. I LOVE Star Wars, so for me, purchasing this set was just a no brainer.
This set is amazing, it features all the fabulous music from the movies, and for me it's just insanely fun to listen to. When I put it all on iTunes, I had to remove some of the doubles, for instance each disc starts out with the famous Twentieth Century Fox fanfare, something I personally had to remove. The Main Title theme is the same, and at the same time different for each disc. All in all, I've got nothing to complain about. It really brings back the nostalgia of watching the movies as a kid and give you your Star Wars hit if you can't get somewhere to see the movies.
A great set to own or give for the any true Star Wars fan!
Comment: For something that is supposed to be "complete" there are some startling omissions: The raucous song being sung By Sy Snoottles & Co. in return of the Jedi seems absent and instead we get what sounds like "Jabba does karaoke with Sy" with the voice of Jabba being done by someone who was NOT the original voice, or so it sounds. Instead of the truly exciting and wild tribal dance music played by the Ewoks when they celebrate the destruction of the Death Star at the end of Jedi, we get the later add-on music put in for the "improved" version of the film that could best be called "Zamfir plays Ewok lullabies and even he sounds bored with it".
That being said, there are some nice additions: The second song done by the Cantina Band from "A New Hope" which is only heard for a few seconds in the film is lovingly done in true "Benny Goodman Meets E.T. and Swings!" style. And there are a few alternate takes of some music.
Beyond this, to me, the music is very oddly mixed. I tend to listen via (fairly high-end) headphones and much of the music is mixed in such a way that it sounds like one of the old mono-to-stereo remixes where the tracks got arbitrarily split between the two speakers with almost dead air in the middle. Very disconcerting heard through headphones. It's as if the orchestra is standing to either side of you, but not in front. Maybe this works better with open air speakers but to me it jars and diminishes the quality of the sound stage dramatically.
I really wanted to like this but I am putting it up sale here. It just wasn't worth the full price.
Lucas needs to stop "improving" these things or give us all versions, old new and whatever you come out with next year. (Same for the DVD versions by the way, I want the *original* films as I saw them when I was young, even with all their imperfections.)

Summary: COMPLETE BOX SET??? 2009-06-28
Comment: So, this is probably the best work done by John Williams, and includes all of the classic movies, but what I'm mainly concerned about is this:
We now have 6 Star Wars Soundtracks. Why don't we have a complete box set of Star Wars Music from all 6 movies? Okay, so the music in the prequels isn't QUITE up to par with the originals, but there's still some great things to be heard, such as "Anakin vs. Obi Wan" from III, and "Duel of the Fates" from I. So...why not have a complete?
