In 2011, the latest modifications to Episodes I-VI were released on Blu-ray. The original, unaltered theatrical editions were released (as bonus material) on DVD on September 12, 2006. In the release of The Phantom Menace DVD, two deleted portions were either partially or completely restored. Other changes improved the cohesiveness among the films, and eliminated continuity errors between the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy.Ĭhanges to Star Wars films after the theatrical release aren't always limited to the original trilogy. Many changes were motivated by the vast improvements in CGI technology and other production techniques that occurred in the two decades after the original trilogy was produced. In a September 2004 MSNBC article, Lucas points out that the original films were "25 or 30 percent" of what he intended. The commercial success of Star Wars has given George Lucas the opportunity to tinker with his original trilogy, now called Episode IV A New Hope, Episode V The Empire Strikes Back, and Episode VI Return of the Jedi. The following are partial lists of changes in Star Wars re-releases.

Overall, a decent movie while the weakest of the Star Wars franchise.This article or section needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of article quality. Plus John Williams' music was outstanding. Then again, Lee is an exceptional actor who can act anything you throw at him. There is no doubt though that the acting honours go to Christopher Lee as the villainous Count Dooku.
Frank Oz is excellent as always as Yoda, and Ewen MacGregor is more at home here than he was in Phantom Menace. Natalie Portman is quite captivating as Queen Padma, and displays a lot of emotional depth. The battle sequences are well choreographed, the pace is somewhat brisker than in Phantom Menace and the performances with the exception of Christensen are very good.
Still despite the major flaws, it is a marvel to look at with stunning sets and impeccable CGI. I will admit the dialogue is weak and gets nowhere at times, the plot isn't as well thought out and felt convoluted at best, Haydn Christensen does give a truly abysmal performance as Anakin and although the presence of Jar Jar Binks was toned down here his presence anywhere seemed jarring. I do agree that this is the weakest of the six Star Wars movies, but it wasn't by all means a terrible movie.
