I was going to get all of the new Star Wars steels, but this steel ruined the whole collection for me. The others all use their primary poster design and look beautiful together, but this one sticks out like a sore thumb. The Vader head is ugly and doesn't fit at all with the other designs. It's a shame, hopefully it gets re-designed soon. The inside and back are fine!

I personally don't hate the cover, but it very much irks me that this is the only cover in the Original Trilogy that doesn't use it's traditional theatrical poster, and it'd be much better if it did. Please change the artwork if you can Zavvi.

Please convince Disney to change the front artwork or I will be cancelling my preorder with everyone else!

The cover art looks TERRIBLE. It does not match the rest of the trilogy being released at all. I know that money speaks louder and at the end of the day this is sold out... but keep in mind many people are keeping their pre-order ONLY in the hope that you change this cover art before it goes to print for release. Please Zavvi, pressure Disney into changing the cover art for this. Instead it should be the classic poster in the style of the other steelbooks for ep. IV and VI that you are relasing as well. For the sake of all fans, collectors and a classic trilogy that deserves better than this sore thumb of a cover art.

Please fix the art!. the back cover is ok, but the front is TERRIBLE. I don't remember seeing this floating Vader helmet as one of the original movie posters, but there are SO many better options...

Everyone who buys steelbooks, buys them for aesthetic reasons. The A New Hope steelbook was beautiful, as was the Return of the Jedi Steelbook, but for some inexplicable reason Zavvi chose to discard the movie poster motif for The Empire Strikes Back. I pre-ordered in hopes the artwork might change to the appropriate and renowned original one sheet for Empire. Unfortunately it did not, and I forgot to cancel it. What a bizarre decision on Zavvi's part. Ruined what would have been a great set.

There’s still time, please change this. It’s not going to match the other two movies at all...

Of all the poster art choices they had, they chose this ugly duckling to stick out like a sore thumb in this 4K set. Way to break up the continuity, Disney! Not certain I will continue buying any more in this set and just stop with the original trilogy. Very disappointed in how Disney dropped the ball on this.

This 4K steel book is great but not 5 stars. I'm sure most of you love the film and if you're thinking about getting this for your collection you want to know why you SHOULDN'T get it. Well, there are 2 reasons not to, but they are minor. The first is that this is the Special Edition version of the film. But that can't be helped since Lucasfilm refuses to even acknowledge anything other than the SE versions of the original trilogy. So moving on to reason #2 - it's very dark. I put my TV on the brightest setting and it was still very dark. I know Empire is a visually dark film, but this was a bit ridiculous. other than that it's great. 4K, special features, cool steel book. Definitely worth adding to your Star Wars Collection if you're a mega fan - but if you're looking for the best looking version of Empire, this isn't it I'm sorry to say.

The fifth film of the six part Star Wars Saga is incredible and has been since 1980. The 4k release is gorgeous and top of the line, and the steelbook itself is amazing. So, why the four stars instead of five? First, consider this a full five star review IF this is the only one of the actual six (or nine if you go that route) films you want to own; however, if you intend to have the entire collection, then this one sticks out like a sore thumb. Look at them all together as a "set," and the design on this one just does not fit. The steelbook itself is gorgeous, but, again, it stands out. In the end, amazing film, and this is THE way to own it, but when looked at as a set, that is what gives it four instead of five stars.
