In the spectacular final chapter of the Star Wars saga, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia must travel to Tatooine to free Han Solo by infiltrating the wretched stronghold of Jabba the Hutt, the galaxy's most loathsome gangster. Reunited, the Rebels team up with tribes of Ewoks to combat the Imperial forces on the forest moon of Endor. Meanwhile the Emperor and Darth Vader conspire to turn Luke to the dark side, and young Skywalker is determined to rekindle the spirit of the Jedi within his father. The Galactic Civil War culminates in the ultimate showdown, as the Rebel forces gather to attack the seemingly defenseless and incomplete second Death Star in the battle that will determine the fate of the galaxy. After rescuing Han Solo from the palace of Jabba the Hutt, the Rebels attempt to destroy the Second Death Star, while Luke Skywalker tries to bring his father back to the Light Side of the Force. Storyline: Darth Vader and the Empire are building a new, indestructible Death Star. Meanwhile, Han Solo has been imprisoned, and Luke Skywalker has sent R2-D2 and C-3PO to try and free him. Princess Leia - disguised as a bounty hunter - and Chewbacca go along as well. The final battle takes place on the moon of Endor, with its natural inhabitants, the Ewoks, lending a hand to the Rebels. Will Darth Vader and the Dark Side overcome the Rebels and take over the universe?

Disc One through Six: The six episodes plus each disc includes two audio commentaries, and these are the only bonus features actually on the discs for the films themselves. In addition to the tracks that were included on the DVDs—featuring George Lucas and various members of the cast and crew, all recorded separately—six all new tracks have been created especially for this release, comprised of archival interviews with, well, just about everyone who ever played a role in the creation of Star Wars, in front of or behind the camera, from George Lucas on down. These are more hodgepodge than typical commentary tracks, but despite the fact that they were sourced from various interviews, they manage to stay fairly scene specific. There's a wealth of Star Wars-related knowledge to be gleaned here. Disc Seven: - New!
