The main point that should be considered here is this:

Do you want Episodes I & II in a boxset now

or

Do you want Episodes I, II, III, IV, V & VI in about two years time.

I'd say getting the complete boxset is a better idea otherwise your collection is going to be ruined and not neat and perfect.

What can I say? Episode one is Awfull, really Truely Awfull. I first saw this film at the cinima. Now i have seen some stinkers in my time, but i have always wanted to sit to the end.
Episode One is the ONLY film i have really WANTED to leave half way though, sheer boardom!

Episode II was alot better, but still WAY below par compaired to the original. The fact that Anakin was a young tear away helped, rather than a little kid who says things like "Yippy" (Shudder)

Oh the special effects are great, but i have never CARED about any of the characters in Episods I and II, in 3, 4 and 5 you did.

So why did i get the DVD's??? well as a star wars fan i have got the get the whole set and i watched them again just to see if I could be less jaded the second time around, but no.

Ahh well at least they will be able mark the place were up episodes 3, 4 and 5 should be on my shelf when i use them.

I dare say EP 1 will do the rounds on the box this christmas. That will be my call to go help the missus clean the dishes!

What's the point?

So you're gonna buy a 2 film box set, out of a series of 6 films? A complete rip-off! Where's Ep III gonna fit sandwiched in between this and the eventual original trilogy box set? Buy them separatley or wait for EP's III, IV, V & VI on DVD before buying any Star Wars box sets.

value for money for two Star Wars movies

Value for money buying both movies, but Episode 2 (attack of the clones) is much better than Episode 1 (the phantom menace) because there is more of a storyline and we see less of annoying Jar Jar Binks. The real challenge will be to see how George Lucas will tie up all of the loose ends from 2(attack of the clones) and 4 (a new hope)to put into 3. I only wish that they will put the original trilogy onto DVD soon, as the trilogy was a classic and desrves the advantage of DVD to bring it truly to life.
