George Lucas's original Star Wars trilogy is a clever synthesis of pop-cultural and mythological references, taking classic fairy-tale themes, adding more than a dash of Arthurian legend, and providing cinematic high adventure inspired as much by Kurosawa's Samurai epics as by Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers. As a result, audiences of all ages can find something to identify with in Luke Skywalker's journey from disaffected teenager dreaming of adventure to Jedi Knight and saviour of the galaxy. He not only rescues a Princess, but discovers she's a close relative. And if there's a lesson to be gleaned from the Skywalker clan, it's that no matter how bad things get in the average dysfunctional family, it's never too late for reconciliation.

Its the same DVDs with a gold box. Thats it. Nothing more. Only thing different is that if you bought this then you likely paid more if it was from his masters voice than you would have from Amazon. I guess there is one born every minute. Feeble attempt by His Masters Voice to hang onto customers by overpricing DVDs & selling them as exclusive when it is just a different colour.

This Box Set was released exclusive to HMV back in 2004 and sold out within a few weeks. This is a must have for any serious Star Wars Fan to include in there DVD collection.
