Bought it for the "Theatrical Release" version.
1 of 1 found this helpful To be honest I bought this only for the original "Theatrical Release" version, which is on the bonus disk (disk 2). Having the re-done one from the '90s is just a bonus. I have only watched the original from this disk set as I am an "original" fan and that is the one I know and love.
Speaking of loving it, I am biased as a huge Star Wars Nerd and so regardless of any and all writing or other flaws in any of these films I can give it all a pass. What I love is the entire storyline and characters, not to mention the fantastic visuals and sounds that all us fans love. While I love the Star Wars universe on the whole I don't completely love all the films (prequels) but I still found them all entertaining and worth watching at least a couple times. Even though I don't know when I will get around to watching the redux version of ROTJ I still am glad to have it in my collection.
BTW, most fans seem to be split on what is their favorite Star Wars film between either "The Empire Strikes Back (ep. 2)", and "(ep. 3) Return Of The Jedi". I believe that is saying an awful lot for both these films. Personally I would have to say the original "A New Hope" is the most important and the basis for all the others, but that's just me. I wouldn't want to live in a world without any of them so just watch them all.
Side note: To anyone new to the Star Wars saga; I recommend watching the films in the order they were released in, not in numerical order. The story unfolds naturally the way it was intended to that way. So episodes 4, 5, 6, then 1, 2, 3, then I recommend you either see Episode 7 right away or brush up on the original trilogy 4, 5, and 6 again then go see it.
