    Better than the new Sci Fi channel version. Maybe I'm a purist but the story isn't as drawn out. Your not kept guessing for 4 hours. Its plain simple and entertaining. The special effects obviously aren't up to todays standard but equal to Empire Strikes Back. The only disapointment is that you can only hear it in Mono, yes Mono. I had a stereo in 1979. Star Wars was offered in dolby. I guess it was before MTV and no one had stereo tv's. Anyway, Its worth a rental, even if just for nostalgia.

    Watching the premiere of Star Wars in 1977 as a 10 year old got me into sci-fi and when BG released the next year on TV, it fueled me even more into the genre. I agree this was a nice nostalgia trip. I haven't seen these episodes and the pilot/movie since they were first released 30 years ago. I rented this so I could see and compare the fundamental story to the new "reimagined" series that I'm also watching now (through these rentals, I don't have cable TV). Too bad the classic BG didn't go on longer than a year due to the huge production expenses and drawn out stories. I'm liking the new series though. ~Rob

    It will remind you how far we have come in CG. But it will also remind you how we used to pay attention to story and dialogue versus simple blood and guts. If you want to watch this to compare it, don't waste your time. But if you want to watch a movie that can take you to the edge of imagination with a story, a plot and real characters - sit back and enjoy the show. I loved it both for the story and for the nostalgia.
