Beautiful Packaging, Tons of Special Features, Quintessential!
WARNING! Before I go into the review, I want to give a friendly warning. This Star Wars Complete Saga set has NEVER been officially released on DVD format by the distributor. This set is ONLY officially available on Blu-ray format, NOT DVD. If you are purchasing this set on DVD format, you are being swindled and you'll end up receiving a BOOTLEG, an illegitimate product. That explains why many reviewers of the "DVD" version report that the visual and audio qualities vary between the films, the packaging is flimsy, fragile, or even already broken on arrival, and the discs themselves have wrinkled art and lots of scratches. Don't be fooled by listings that are fulfilled by Amazon. Just because it's fulfilled by Amazon doesn't mean it's a legitimate product. "Fulfilled by Amazon" only means that the product is shipped by Amazon, but Amazon is not the one selling it; it's a third-party seller. And because these are bootlegs, the quality between the bootlegs will vary. You might've gotten an ok bootleg, but most times, it'll be terrible. Just a warning so that you guys don't get ripped off. If you would rather have these films on DVD, these are the products you want to get. They are official releases of the films on DVD format. The links to the official DVD versions are below. They come in a combo pack.

Moving on the actual review.
Star Wars: The Complete Saga (Episodes I-VI) [Blu-ray]
This is the quintessential set for Star Wars fans! The Blu-ray transfers sound amazing and look gorgeous. While the price may be a bit steep, it is absolutely worth it. It comes with a total of 9 discs, one for each film and three dedicated just for additional special features. The amount of special features is astronomical! If you ever wanted to delve into the universe of the Star Wars films, this is the best you can get.
The packaging itself is simple, but elegant. The cover art is embossed, holographic, and attractive. The films come in a standard Blu-ray case which is enclosed in a cardboard sleeve. Thankfully, each disc has its own space. The discs are not stacked on top of each other, but instead are placed on "plastic pages". I'm sure the pictures can express that better than I can. In addition, the set comes with a small booklet entitled "Guide to the Galaxy". This booklet is simply a guide to all of the special features. It will come in handy if you ever feel a bit overwhelmed trying to navigate the special features. Highly recommended!
