 What a piece of junk! August 19, 2008

This is one of those rare items that has absolutely no reason to exist whatsoever. I got it at Wal-Mart for like, $3.00 when I bought Episode 3 on DVD, expecting it to be supplimental features explaining the history behind making the movies. I wasn't expecting much since it was a "Wal-Mart exclusive," meaning it probably was leftovers that weren't good enough to make the cut on the real DVDs, but still, for an extra $3, I figured it was a good enough deal.
I WAS WRONG!
This is simply a video of C-3PO and R2-D2 telling an abbreviated version of the Star-Wars saga, with clips from the movie thrown in. It is obviously intended for children who have absolutely no taste. WHY WATCH THIS WHEN YOU CAN WATCH THE REAL MOVIES!?! Maybe in 10 years this will be a nifty collector's gimmick like the Star Wars video board game, or the Star Wars Holiday Special, but if you're hoping that this will actually scratch your Star Wars itch, look elsewhere. The only other way I can recommend this disc is, is if you don't love your kids enough to give them the actual Star Wars movies.

Okay, I was a child in the 80's and my whole family loved Star Wars, but I don't remember watching it before I was 7 or 8 years old. My husband is a big Star Wars fan (not fanatic), and was quick to introduce our little boy to everything Star Wars. Our son, who's 3 1/2 years old now, loves watching the movies, but he's just not mature enough to fully understand some of the more scary/violent parts and I don't like him sitting in front of the TV for a couple hours at a time.
This dvd is PERFECT for children. It is hosted by C-3PO and R2-D2 who narrate and explain each of the movies in 10 minute segments, showing highlights from each movie (except Episode 3 which hadn't been released yet). My boy loves it and asks to watch it almost every day, and it's nice to have a Star Wars 'movie' that's so suitable for children, PLUS we don't have to be in the same room to fast forward through any scary parts. I love it.

3 CHEERS FOR SHAAK Ti
Shaak it is the most favoritable jedi between qui-gon jinn and Yoda, well in my opinion. Shaak ti has brought us so many things, and techincally started the rebellion. Shaak ti's death was neccesary for Ghent Starkiller to influence the rebellion. Shaak
