This box set was one of my Christmas gifts in 1997. To be absolutely honest, I never got into Star Wars - even then preferring gritty realism to fantasy/sci-fi - but I appreciated the thought and have kept it unopened, in the original plastic ever since.

I once watched part of Return of the Jedi at a friend's place and quite liked it but by then I only had a DVD and was starting to think I should keep this set until it becomes collectible.

So I've carted it around during various house moves (at least ten) and kept it more as an ornament than a set of films.

If Star Wars is your thing and you like original memorabilia this original three-film Star Wars box set would make a great addition to your collection.

And here's what AI has to say about it ....
