Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back [Blu-ray] [SteelBook] [1980]

When this Blu-ray steelbook was on sale for 9.99 on May 4th, you couldn't pass it up even if you own the original trilogy on Blu-ray already. the collectable steelbook is worth the price of admission for 9.99. However, be warned. The extras are scarce on these and no Digital Copies at all. This set is very bare bones. Only get this edition if you want the collectable packaging or if you must own everything Star Wars.

This whole steel book collection is amazing and so unique. It's well worth getting separate movies than the box set.

It's a great steelbook copy with Beautiful artwork on the front and back and the inside.

I think most will agree that Empire Strikes Back is hands down the greatest film in the Star Wars franchise to date. Filled with great special effects, a beautiful score that first introduced the now famous Imperial March, and character arcs that still shake audiences to their core as this was the first time we ever saw heroes lose. With that said, the 4K transfer of this film is gorgeous and presents the film in the greatest format it’s ever seen. While the special features of this release are identical to past releases, the 4K Upgrade makes this with the investment. My only complaint is that I wish they’d also included the original, unaltered version of the movie as it was originally released in theaters before George Lucas did the special edition version with the added cgi and digital effects.

Of course ESB is great, but how is the 4k video and audio quality? I was blown away by both. This is a demo movie to show the capabilities of a 4k TV. Picture was super clear and audio was outstanding. I noticed things I had never noticed before. I would definitely recommend this one for SW fans and also to see what 4k is all about.

I've seen it in the theater and many times on the TV/VCR. And I heard a new joke that I missed! Right after kiss a wookie. The audio is great! The 4K version looks amazing on my new OLED. CGI looks good overall. All the bonus features are on the Blu-ray. The Blu-ray looks great on my 4K OLED. The HDR is HDR10.

I'm a Star Wars Fanatic from the Original Trilogy. The movie was EPIC! BEST of SW movies. Love, romance, action, peril, life lessons, wisdom, amazing dialogue, unpredictable, amazing characters and chemistry. So, many memorable quotes and a cliffhanger ending fraught with surprises, tragedy, pain and peril. It was fun. Disc Quality of Movie is top notch restoration is supreme and at a Black Friday price of $14.99 How can you go wrong?

I was at Best Buy the day I went and I saw that episodes 4-6 4Ks were on sale again for $15 and I bought the 5th episode on 4K and it had the slipcover which was the best one I could find, so I’m happy that I bought it.
