Star Wars IV: A New Hope [1977] (REGION 1) (NTSC)

Since this collection of interviews isn't authorised by Lucasfilm, you won't find footage of the Star Wars movies here, although you will find terrific snippets from sci-fi milestones such as Fritz Lang's Metropolis. A youthful Carrie Fisher talk about the interplanetary appeal of the original Star Wars, while a 20-years-older Fischer talks about the films' fairytale-like grasp across generations. Young and older Harrison Fords and Mark Hamill give interesting perspectives as well; the video also sports one of the longer interviews recorded with the man inside C-3PO.

Besides the actual cast and crew of the Star Wars movies, including The Phantom Menace, there are interviews here with stars as fans, famous people who love the movies as much as anyone: Sharon Stone, Gary Busey, Hugh Hefner, Magic Johnson, Christina Ricci and William Shatner. A fun and provocative look through uncensored interviews across the spectrum at all that is Star Wars, worthy of any fan's archive, this is a must for any serious collection. --Erik Macki

A stunning movie for all ages, 2007-10-30
Everybody can remember the original 1977 Star Wars, and this is it, but made a lot better! For Star Wars' 20th Anniversary, George Lucas has digitally remastered it, changed it and made the sound quality better and made it look a lot more realistic with all the CGI they have added. A great film made greater. I own it, and I think you should buy it. It adds to an already great film collection.

A New Hope, 2003-12-02
George Lucas's epic space adventure is still something special even after 26 years. I would rate this as one of the greatest films of all time even after so long. This movie has amazing action scenes and is driven along by a very stong storyline. This film has very good actors including Alec Guiness and Mark Hamill. This is an essential edition to your video collection.
