After a brief announcement and a series of giveaways we jump into the first feature. The Exhumed bumper plays (with live in theater soundtrack).

Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi

Sixth in a series of posts that will offer a review of the newly released Star Wars: The Complete Saga on Blu-ray. I'll be avoiding detailed plot rundowns as I assume that most reading have seen the movies. If you haven't be warned that these reviews may contain spoilers.

Entry 4 can be found here: Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope
Entry 5 can be found here: Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back

When Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi was released in the spring of 1983 it captured my imagination in ways that few films before it had. Like E.T.,Superman II and the other Star Wars films before it Return of the Jedi was fuel for a 9-year old boy's mind.

Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back

Fifth in a series of posts that will offer a review of the newly released Star Wars: The Complete Saga on Blu-ray. I'll be avoiding detailed plot rundowns as I assume that most reading have seen the movies. If you haven't be warned that these reviews may contain spoilers.

Entry 4 can be found here: Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope

Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back. I'm not sure that I really have to write anymore. Released in the spring of 1980, many fans consider Empire to be the best of the series. I definitely agree. Not tasked with establishing a universe or wrapping things up Empire is the quintessential Star Wars movie.

Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope

Fourth in a series of posts that will offer a review of the newly released Star Wars: The Complete Saga on Blu-ray. I'll be avoiding detailed plot rundowns as I assume that most reading have seen the movies. If you haven't be warned that these reviews may contain spoilers.

Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope changed the face of cinema when it opened in theaters in May of 1977. Of course at that time there was no "Episode IV - A New Hope" in the title. With no continuity to get lost in or prequels or sequels to worry about audiences were able to sit back and enjoy a cinematic game changer.
