LEGO Star Wars Clone Walker Battle Pack
$12.99
I like this toy because my son can play with it for hours and days and weeks. It keeps him active and busy and away from too much video games. These toys make him build and create so I like them.

LEGO Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary
$21.99
My son (8) purchased this book with his allowance. He is a very sophisticated lego user, huge star wars fan and I was sure he would look at it once and then it would sit on the shelf. Boy, was I wrong! He loves this book! He goes through it over and over. Loves quoting the facts and referencing facts throughout the book. It really does have a lot of information. The pictures are well done, the facts are detailed and not common, interesting even for a non star wars fanatic. Also, this is a great price at Amazon. We bought ours through Scholastic books and it was twice as much. I highly recommend!

Star Wars Trilogy
$49.98
I bought this set simply because it did have the original movies and it's the only digital version of the originals available. I actually do enjoy the added CG, along with the upgraded sound on the new versions, but i want to choose which one i want to watch. I'm hoping Georgie releases both versions on Blu-ray soon. I was hoping for Christmas, but that doesn't appear to be happening.

Star Wars The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels
$19.99
While attending Jedi Academy I was put through rigorous light saber training regimes. This simulation while fun, may not be 100% accurate to the core training I received.

All kidding aside, I bought this for my son's 6th birthday. We had a Jedi-themed party and all of the kids competed in a tournament. The game is very fun to play. All of the kids ended up just swinging their arms wildly and hoped their speed would win them the fight and I must say that was usually the case. I have tried playing it and several times the characters ignored my subtle strikes and other moves. This leaves it up to being a fantastic party game but might not be as true to the series as I would have liked. I even played it with the Wii Plus controllers on and off to see if it made a difference, I noticed nothing.

Pros:
>> Fast game play
>> Accurate Clone Wars characterizations
>> Very fun and addictive
