After purchasing the retail versions of the films:

Download the .iso files from wherever you can find them. You'll need to burn them to Verbatim DVD+R DL discs. There's a helpful video on youtube that will walk you through the process. Just search "How to get Original Unaltered Star Wars Trilogy on Blu-ray." Ignore the blu-ray in the title, this video will explain how to burn to DVD+R DL discs.

I'm not super familiar with the DVDs, so density can ignore me if I'm wrong, but isn't the DVD-DL an AVCHD? And wouldn't that be of no use to him without a blu-ray player?

I thought the only native DVD versions were DVD5s, but I could certainly be wrong. Anyway, the main point of this is good. Density, you can google to find torrents of the DVD versions of despecialized. And google how to use torrents if you're not familiar. Once downloaded, use imgburn to burn it to a blank DVD (the above discussion was whether or not you need a single or double layer DVD - I'm not sure). You might find a ".iso" file as described above, or it might be a folder full of files. I've only seen the latter for the DVD5 Harmy releases. Either way, imgburn can do it and google has anything that we might be leaving out of these posts.
