Hello all

I just got lost in the Amazon reviews in my try to search for a gift for my husband, a big fan of Star Wars.

I want to buy individual or pack collection DVDs, BUT containing also the original versions of the movies. If possible to have the cover also in the original design, that would be even better.

I'm searching for the entire series, all 6 episodes.

Basicly, I don't exactly know where to go and what to buy to be the right thing!

Would you be so kind and help a lost one? :) I will be forever greatfull.

Thank youuuuuuuu!

Adi

There's never been one single box that has all 6 movies on DVD.  I'll break down your options for each trilogy. 

- Prequels (i.e. Phantom Menace, Attack/Clones, Revenge/Sith)

The easiest way to get the Prequel Trilogy is to buy the box set (UPC# 024543560067).  However, you could also get the single-movie 2-DVD releases of the Prequels.  The UPCs are: (Phantom Menace - 024543023876; Attack of the Clones - 024543055396; and Revenge of the Sith - 024543203094).  The UPCs I provided are for the widescreen versions, which are what your husband will want.

Regardless, the boxset looks like this:

 

Original films w/ the theatrical non-altered versions (i.e. Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi)

You have 2 options.  First, you could get the Original Trilogy box set (UPC# 024543559856).

The boxset looks like this:

Or, you could get the movies individually in 2-DVD Limited Edition versions.  The disc content is identical either way.  Here's how they look...

Star Wars: A New Hope (UPC# 024543263739)

The Empire Strikes Back (UPC# 024543263838)

Return of the Jedi: (UPC # 024543263937)

(NOTE: If you're going with the single-movie releases, it's very important that you get the "Limited Edition" ones, as the prior release doesn't have the original versions of the movies.)  Also, the Original Trilogy releases are out of print, so it'll be more difficult to buy them new.
