Title pretty much sums it up - do I have to buy the complete trilogy or is there a way to purchase them separately (besides ebay or half.com)?

I'm not interested in owning return of the jedi.

Pawn shop or used dvd store is your best bet. And thats if the seller already broke up the set.

Al Padrino

I tend to see these at GameStop on the regular.

Its not that expensive, just buy the set and be done with it. Otherwise you will be buying a used copy and not getting the fourth disc. Granted if you buy the new set you do not get it anyways.

The new 3 disc set is only 35 shpped and the 4 disc is 45 shipped. I mean that is about the same a two new release movies. Plus these go on sale pretty often.

I'm always amazed at these threads, at the lengths people are willing to go to avoid buying Return of the Jedi, or Godfather Part 3, or Temple of Doom. Are they really that bad?

Anyway, your best bet is either to buy them used on Half, Ebay, or a pawn shop, or just buy the full trilogy and then sell the offending DVD.

Al Padrino

I'd definitely go with the box, if for no other reason than the bonus disc is excellent.

GregS

godfather 3 really was that bad, i still got the box sex and just pretend that, that movie never happened

Fok

I think you should just buy the set as the price for them isn't that bad now

TomOpus

Just buy the boxset and sell RotJ to offset the cost.

Jason

But the bonus disc has icky footage from Jedi in it.

BTW, I've seen the bonus disc at Hollywood Video used for $10.

Rival11

Thanks all - you're starting to convince me to just buy the set.

Jedi isn't horrible or anything, It's just not a film that I would watch often. My set would consist of:

A new Hope
Empire
ROTS

BuckNaked2k

I can't watch these movies without seeing IV, V, and VI together...for me it's really one story. It's I, II, and III that I can't stomach!

Mr. Cinema

At least get the cheaper 3-disc set.

Drexl

I would also suggest the 3-disc set. Then, maybe you could buy the bonus disc separately on eBay and put that in the box along with the two you like.

Back to topic: I agree that it will be cheaper to just buy the set and then sell off any parts you aren't interested in. I have never seen the films sold individually even used. You'll end up paying as much if not more than the set, and you'll get the cool bonus disc. My $.02

Jedi contains the greatest space battle in human history, the final confrontation, and Jabba's Palace and its completely badass escape...

I just wish the 77,80,83 originals would be released each as 2-discers (2nd disc extras) with the same packaging as the Warner 2-discers and original poster art for the covers.
I can dream..

kaydigitech

I love the speedbike scenes in Jedi but I can't bring myself to re-watch that movie ever again.

I just spent this past Christmas week watching Episodes 1-5 and Clones Wars and stopped right there. I could not get up and put ROTJ in my DVD player.

uberjoe

That said, I really like Jedi and it has some great scenes.

"This is your last chance, Jabba. Free us... or die." Heck, yeah.

I just watched Jedi this weekend and enjoyed it all the way through. I can't fathom being a Star Wars fan and missing out on the crucial stuff that Jedi has.

Dai

I remember when the original release came out, all the blockbusters eventually sold off the movies individually, including the bonus, without the box...

Anyways, if you don't want to buy the whole set, you could scour around some used DVD places to see if you can pick them up cheap...

Tha Freak

I can sell you my "A New Hope"

25$ US + Shipping

Terrell

Amen! It's amazing the things people will do to avoid ROTJ, a good film with some of the best scenes in all of Star Wars. By some member's overreaction to this film, you would think Jedi was infecting people with the Ebola virus.

Demontooth

My A New Hope disc disappeared during our move. It's quite depressing.

taa455

Return of the Jedi may be my least favorite of the OT, but I still like to watch it now and then. I can't imagine not owning the complete set. Seems stupid to me but oh well.

Cameron

are they still offering the new hope replacement disc?
