Overall review of the "Skywalker Saga" 9 movie Set
Having been a long time fan of the series, starting on the infamous date for all SW fans, 25 May 1977, I was eager to get this set and have all the movies in UHD 4K. This set does NOT include the SW stories "Solo" and "Rogue One". I will be getting "Rogue One" separately for the 4K as I have "Solo". The box itself is decent, it has a leather like feel to it and opens up on the sides to reveal a middle "silver book" that contains all the discs and original artwork from each of the 9 movies. The movie pages have the 4K and Blu-ray disc housed in their own respective sleeves on the upper right corner and are labeled as such when you remove them. Removing them is a sticking point, but as with anything disc, you have to handle with care. They are a bit tight as this is a new set and I think over time it will loosen a bit for each disc. The outer black case does not line up absolutely on the line, and that is a bit of a disappointment when it comes to the Death Star graphic on the front, but that is a minor thing to me. It's not handmade by Rolls Royce. The 9 bonus discs are pretty good, but NOT all the material for each movie is in THIS set. There is new material, interviews, etc. for this set mixed with original material brought over from the 2011 9 disc set. You can find more on the 3 bonus discs that came with that Blu-ray set. Keep those 3 discs if you have it. Also, the 2004 Star Wars Trilogy "Bonus Material" DVD is exceptional with the vintage IV-VI trilogy content. Has ALL the trailers for those three movies and the EPIC documentary "Empire Of Dreams". That to me, is THE documentary for the original trilogy. This is NOT on this 2020 Box Set. Some of the vintage trailers are on the bonus discs for IV-VI. Episode IX does NOT have any deleted/extended scenes on the bonus disc. Why? I don't know. I do believe there is much footage that could have been added here. We get a "Skywalker Saga" documentary, rather it's a behind the scenes 2 hour video mostly about VII-IX with a little bit of footage from IV-VI added in here and there. No mention of Episodes I-III at all. The plus here for me is the total package, although the disc sleeves may have been better, it doesn't appear they will scratch easily as the material behind it is slick. They are tight on the sides, but I believe over time it will loosen a bit. Handle with care as always. We get all the movies on UHD 4K with newer prints. The original trilogy (IV-VI) has never looked better. No, it does NOT contain the 1977, 1980, 1983 theatrical releases with all mistakes and film defects inherent in those, even now in later format releases (VHS box sets/1995 THX Laserdisc sets). You will never see those on a UHD 4K set. George made it clear many years ago, that the movies that were originally seen on the screen in those years were not the complete vision he had at the time. He couldn't do alot of things he wanted because of the limits of technology at the time. So, he basically had to wait unitl the movie technology caught up. Even if this set is not the most perfect one, I do like it, but it could have been better overall for content and the placement of discs in the sleeves. Artwork is well done and the artwork on the discs are well done, too. A solid 4 Stars.

The ultimate collection for Star Wars fans
I knew one day I would have all nine episodes in 4K. I hoped that they would make them sharp and the sound phenomenal. I wanted that experience of reliving the entire Skywalker saga in a new way. This set delivers! My first test was Episode 4. I wasn’t sure what to expect. When the 20th Century Fox splash with the fanfare came on, it sounded the same. So I thought maybe they didn’t do anything to the soundtrack. The screen moved to A Long Time Ago, In A Galaxy Far Away.... And then it exploded. The orchestral depth was there, the force of percussion and brass was there. In my surround sound filled room it sounded as if I was looking up at John Williams as he was conducting on a sound stage. The movie progressed and as the Tantive IV spanned across the screen followed by the ISS Debstator, the visual sharpness was spectacular. The color was clearly more defined and deeper. R2 and 3PO were scuffed and tarnished vividly. The corridors and lasers were crisp and as intended. It shines but in a way that doesn’t diminish the era in which it was created. I haven’t plunged into the remaining movies yet. But my initial experience of this set is that it’s worth every cent. The case is very nice, the discs are stored in a hard board book with art pages and there are 9 extra content discs, along with blu rays and 4K blu rays. I highly recommend for any Star Wars fan out there.
