Can you rent Star Wars anywhere?

[meshaliuknits]

Oh man. I'd loan you mine if you were local. I haven't any idea. If you have cable maybe check to see if they're playing this week?

This is such a dumb question, but to check the cable line up I could just search in the DVR menu, right?  

Yes.

Are they not on iTunes? I 've never looked.

Redbox? Check to make sure there aren't any grocery stores, drug stores, or whatnot that do video rental near you? (I was surprised to find we have a gas station with a pretty awesome dvd rental library).

I have been looking recently, since my son is Star Wars obsessed, and couldn't find anything. Apparently you can't rent them:http://www.zimbio.com/Beyond+the+Box+Office/articles/LSve_fZydHY/Can+Rent+Star+Wars+Online+Reason+Can+t

So annoying. He has seen the first one because we purchased it off Amazon, but I hate to think that the only way to see the whole series is to pay $100. Would love to hear if anyone else has any tips.

We were trying to do the same thing. MH wound up giving up and buying the box set (episodes 4-6, we're not going to bother with 1-3 right now) from Target for $40. 

Can your friends loan you their copy? 

Craigslist, maybe? Or check out a music store for a used copy. Look in thrift shops, too. Especially if you have a VCR because you may be able to find the VHS tapes for cheap as opposed to the DVDs.

I recently bought episodes 4-6 on Amazon for $34. Not sure what they are now, but Costco had them for $40 along with 1-3 for $40. We used to have all six but I couldn't find 4-6, or 2. But 2 sucks so I decided just to replace 4-6.

We had to buy them. We bought 4-6 at Best Buy, price matched Amazon. Finally used a BB gift card I've been carrying around for at least two years.

They are on iTunes for sale. Not sure if you can rent them.

We bought the entire series when it was released in April I think.

Library.

Though my library has massive wait lists for them now. It's our Xmas tradition to watch them over break.

DH recently got them from the library.

I'm surprised they aren't playing them on cable/satellite yet. You would think that stations like TBS or F/X would be all over those type of movies.

I personally can't wait until the movie opens so we can calm it down with all the Star Wars crap they are trying to push. EVERYTING is Star Wars related. Even my 3 year old is going nuts over "Star Hors" and he's never seen any of the movies.

I bet someone in your life has them and would loan them to you.

[LoveTrains]

I have them on VHS.

I just hope it'll be good. I graduated HS with one of the Executive Directors. Fingers crossed, for sure, but it's still really cool for him.

Yeah I remember the day when you could always find them playing on cable. I went looking through the programming guide for them awhile back and was disappointed when I couldn't find them, so I was a ripe candidate when the whole digital series came out.
