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. The extras on this disc include the original DVD audio commentary (with George Lucas, Carrie Fisher, Ben Burtt and Dennis Muren) and a new “archival” Blu-ray audio commentary (with Kenny Baker, Ben Burtt, Richard Chew, Anthony Daniels, Peter Diamond, John Dykstra, Richard Edlund, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Stuart Freeborn, Alec Guinness, Mark Hamill, Paul Hirsch, Gary Kurtz, George Lucas, Peter Mayhew, Ralph McQuarrie, Dennis Muren, Normal Reynolds, Phil Tippett and Robert Watts).

The main culprit here is digital noise reduction. Unlike the other two 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.It’s been a very long wait for the Star Wars Saga to arrive on Blu-ray Disc, and as expected it’s been accompanied by no small amount of hype and controversy, as always seems to be the case with any new release of these films.
