Previously a Star Wars apologist, I thought revisiting them now might provide some more objective insights, especially where the prequels are concerned.Įpisode I: The Phantom Menace – Put simply, this just isn’t a good film. It had been about five years since I had watched these films. īut let’s talk about the actual movies themselves. If I’m not mistaken, these are the same commentaries that were on the standard DVD release from just a few years ago. These are often pieced together to seem semi-relevant to what’s happening onscreen, but aren’t necessarily specific or commenting on the actual onscreen events, per se. The other commentary track is an “archival interview” track with various cast and crew. This track is a traditional commentary recorded as the speakers were (individually) watching the films.
George Lucas provides commentary for all six films. So, the prequels have Rick McCallum among others, while the original trilogy has, e.g., Carrie Fisher and Ben Burtt. One of the two tracks includes specific commentary by those who worked on the trilogy in question. The digital transfer of the movies generally amazing, although there are spots where the human actors look even more unnatural than usual when contrasted with their CGI counterparts, especially in Episode I.Īll six films contain myriad subtitles and audio language options, as well as two commentary tracks. I did notice that the colors seem to skew a little toward the “red” end of the tint spectrum, but this is a very minor complaint (and one that can be corrected easily if the viewer finds it noticeable).
#STAR WARS REVISITED EMPIRE 1080P#
Full 6.1 Dolby Surround and 1080p visuals make for an exceptional movie-watching experience from a purely technical standpoint. This one will obviously cover the oft-maligned prequel trilogy.įirst, the basics: The video and audio on the set are outstanding.
#STAR WARS REVISITED EMPIRE PLUS#
That includes one disc for each of the six movies, plus three additional discs just for myriad extras. The Star Wars: The Complete Saga set is nine discs in total.
Appropriately, this will actually be a trilogy of reviews, as there’s so much material with this set that trying to cram it all into one piece of content would be too much. The recent release of the complete Star Wars film franchise on blu-ray serves as a good reason to revisit the films.
