The 2006 limited-edition two-disc release of Return of the Jedi is not only the first time the movie has been officially available by itself on DVD. It marks the first-ever DVD release of Jedi as it originally played in theaters in 1983. What does that mean exactly? The film is without the various "improvements" and enhancements George Lucas added for the theatrical rerelease in 1997 as well as the DVD premiere in 2004. So Sebastian Shaw reclaims his spot as the man behind Darth Vader's mask, and we don't see the otherworldly celebration (including the Gungans) at the end of the movie.
What do you lose by watching the 1983 version? Dolby Digital 5.1 EX sound, for one thing (only 2.0 Surround here), and digital cleanup. Yes, it's true that fans who want spectacular sound and picture can always watch the 2004 version of the movie also included in this set. But chances are good that they already picked up the trilogy edition of all three films, so their decision to buy the 2006 two-disc edition depends on how much they want the original film. The official LucasFilm stance is that this is an individual release of the 2004 version of Return of the Jedi, and the 1983 version of the film is merely a "bonus feature." Common speculation is that the only reason the original versions are seeing the official light of day at all is to undercut the booming black market for the laserdisc version. Star Wars fans will have to decide for themselves if that's worth the purchase. --David Horiuchi

It is great original one that was seen in the theater when it was first released

With this ends the original Star Wars, as all future installments would be done with excessive (though impressive) CGI. And again, I'm reviewing the theatrical version, even though compared to the other two, this had the least improvements (until the 2004 DVD release). Luke (who gets a new colored lightsaber) and friends rescue Han from Jabba, Yoda reveals to Luke that there's another Skywalker (Leia) and the Emperor finally shows his face. The Emperor really is (next to the Joker and Vader) one ... Read More

And you know that most of you were tempted to do the same thing to. But that's completley alright , it's Star Wars! The Star Wars movie saga are the most rerelease motion picture's in cinema history. Now some people bitch and moan about the 2nd disc (which contains the 1983 theatrical release) not being anamorphic , and I understand there plight. But for most players and projector's and television's today it's very easy too find a way around this. The outside Jacket and the inside disc and artwork ... Read More

The Original Theatrical versions are in their original 2.35:1 Widescreen aspect, letterboxed within a 3x4 screen format - not anamorphic - which is clearly indicated on the packaging. You can view this "full-size" on your 16x9 TV by setting your DVD player's HDMI output to 3x4/pillar-box if necessary, and then setting your TV to "zoom" so that the screen is filled side to side with the picture. There will be slim black bars on the top and bottom, just as there are on anamorphic DVD's with a 2.35:1 ... Read More
