Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back DVD

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back has been released on multiple DVD versions since 2004, including the original theatrical cut and several “Special Edition” versions with changes directed by George Lucas. Across various releases, it is almost universally acclaimed as a cinematic masterpiece and often considered the best film in the original trilogy. 

However, reviews for specific DVD versions vary greatly, primarily due to the controversial changes made to the “Special Edition”. Fans tend to prefer the DVD release that included the original 1980 theatrical version, despite its inferior technical quality.
