Star Wars Fans! I want to get a Christmas gift & don't know what to get, I checked into the box sets -->

OK, here's the deal with the numbering on the side.\n\n"Original Star Wars Trilogy" (the ones with Harrison Ford, etc.) are Episodes 4, 5, 6.  The Roman numerals on the sides of the cases are the Episode numbers.  Example: V is "The Empire Strikes Back"  Currently, the original three (the last three episodes) are available separately or in box set form.\n\nEpisodes 1, 2, 3 are the ones that were just in theatres (Episode III: Revenge of the Sith was in theatres in Summer 2005).\n\nIf you were planning to buy the films for your friend, I would suggest getting all six in Widescreen format (it'll be marked on the cases).  For the "original" three films (IV-VI), get the new limited edition 2-disc editions.  They have the theatrical and special editions (he'll understand the difference).\n\nHere are links from DVD Empire for image references (get them at Wal-Mart for cheaper):\n\nEpisode I: The Phantom Menace:\nhttp://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_item.asp?userid=99365102387650&item_id=32679&searchID=41171\n\nEpisode II: Attack of the Clones:\nhttp://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_item.asp?userid=99365102387650&item_id=447548&searchID=41171\n\nEpisode III: Revenge of the Sith:\nhttp://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_item.asp?userid=99365102387650&item_id=739368&searchID=41171\n\nEpisode IV: A New Hope:\nhttp://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_item.asp?userid=99365102387650&item_id=1122840&searchID=41171\n\nEpisode V: The Empire Strikes Back:\nhttp://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_item.asp?userid=99365102387650&item_id=1122842&searchID=41171\n\nEpisode VI: Return of the Jedi:\nhttp://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_item.asp?userid=99365102387650&item_id=1122844&searchID=41171\n\n\nHowever, here's the thing...if he's a Star Wars fan, chances are very good that he already owns these discs, so you may have to go for something else.  If he's into collectibles, there's an entire wealth of products out there.\n\n\nUPDATE (ANSWERING YOUR FOLLOW-UP QUESTION):\n\n"Knights of the Old Republic" is not a DVD.  It's a video game for the X-Box and/or PC.  "Clone Wars Volume One" and "Clone Wars Volume Two" are the only complete TV series DVDs available at this time (new TV series are currently in development).

It's a hilarious movie, but absolutely pointless as far as story/plot goes. Don't watch it if you're expecting an intelligent movie b/c you'll be sorely disappointed.\n\nIf you're looking for the DVD, then Deep Discount DVD has it for $16.38 and free shipping; they offer the lowest price on the net, excluding of course individual sellers on sites such as Half, eBay and Amazon.\n\nIf you not only like this, but also Star Wars, then check out a short film called Anakin Dynamite. Check it out even if you don't like Star Wars, because it could be seen as making fun of Star Wars; check it out either way, it's very funny!

Whenever I'm in that situation (for anyone, not just boyfriends) I make a list of everything they like to do. Try to be as specific as possible. As you're making the list you might start to come up with some possible ideas. My new-ish boyfriend (who buys everything he wants and is consequently extremely difficult to shop for) just had a birthday and I did the same thing for him. The list was ridiculously long, but I ended up buying him season 1 of Stella, an incredibly stupid sitcom that lasted only 10 episodes. Anyway, he absolutely loved it. He said that it was one of the most thoughtful gifts anyone had ever bought him and that he wouldn't even have thought of buying himself that. So give it a try-- maybe you'll come up with the perfect gift! Good luck!

My son is 11 and this is what we've gotten him so far....a mountain bike (we live in the forest), a really cool robotic spider that shoots darts ($100), a big set of Magnetix with the metal carrying case. Those are the big things, but we're also getting him some Tech Decks (the boys here are into those), some games for his game system, and a couple other things.\n\nI know this has been the most difficult Christmas figuring out what to buy a boy his age. He's too old for young toys and too young for adult things. I hope these ideas help some. Of course, I don't know your son so I can't for certain he'd like these things as well.\n\nHappy gift hunting!

A good place to find the value of your collection would be ebay.  You can do a search for your Star Wars dolls to see what other collectors are selling their's for.  That's usually how I value my coin collection.

You should check out the super deluxe edition that has all the movies. Like 2 or 3 versions of superman returns and a load of extras. Its like 80 bucks but wow.

Check out his likes and dislikes.  Don't ever buy a gift for anyone just to buy a gift.  I couldn't possibly tell you what to buy - it could be totally wrong.  \nOnce you find out his likes and dislikes, go shopping.  You'll know the right gift when you see it.

Maybe once you get out into the shops looking for pressies you will start to feel the Christmas spirit a little bit, get yourself off to Asda I've just bought 2 trendy polo shirts for my friends fellas for £5 each, some nice junky jewellery for my niece and a top and I have change from £20, they have tons of nice stuff at low prices for Christmas gifts, all under one roof and with the money you save you can treat yourself to a nice dress or top, go on spoil yourself, hope you feel a bit more Christmas's soon, be happy and good luck.

I am with you.\n\nI looked in the questions and answers search box and found the question asked over and over "Do you like Star Wars" and nearly all the answers were yes and how great it was.\n\nIt bored me so much, I fell asleep when I took my son and my grandkids to see it.  I've tried watching the  VCR's they bought, but I never get to the end it's just too boring.

Looks like you can get a set for about $26 from Amazon.  I highly recommend the series.  Happy reading!

I shop movies... everywhere, I am a big collector. The best place is to go to Target (not on-line). The second best? BJ's Wholesale.

I love the newer Star Wars movies. \n\nI didn't so much like the older ones. They were good but a real BORE. \n\nThe new ones, however, kept me on edge and i COULD NOT WAIT to see what happened next. I was mad to find that the 3rd one would be the last. \n\nWhen i left the theater i was like.. MAN thats the last one.. darnit. lol \n\nIt would be great if they made 1 more telling the story of how Luke and his twin sister grew up leading to how they met ATLEAST.\n\nBTW: Hayden Christensen is hot. I wanna see more of him;)
