There's nothing like getting together with fellow Star Wars fans and play this special version of Trivial Pursuit. It's great! It's just like the old Trivial Pursuit with, of course, questions only about Star Wars. When you try for a wedge, however, you have to resort to one of two DVDs that come with the game for the question. If you don't answer the question in the time limit given, your oponents can shout out the right answer - as long as they don't have the wedge - and possibly steal it from you. If you like the classic Trivial Pursuit and you happen to be a Star Wars fan and you have a couple like-minded friends or family members, this is a lot of fun and definitely worth the money.

You better know your stuff before you plan on purchasing this game and make sure you know 2-4 people who know more than they should as well about the Star Wars universe. Some of these questions are extremely tough and there are very few easy ones. I used to play the Decipher Star Wars card game, so my memory of those cards actually helped me a lot with remembering certain characters that were barely mentioned in the films. This is a truly great game that we knowledgeable Star Wars fans finally deserve.

I'm a big fan of both Star Wars and games like Trivial Pursuit and Scene It?. However, I must stress that you should only spend your money on something like this if you know three other people who feel the same as you do about it. The geeky types that like to test each others knowledge of Star Wars. Otherwise, you'll be hard-pressed to get your money's worth out of it, because it's not that worth it to the less geeky types who think it's silly to sit around discussing facts. If you can't tell, I've had a hard time getting people to play this game with me. They seem to think that I will definately win and that it's not worth playing to find out.

Also, I was slightly dissapointed in the choice of pieces to play as. They were all jedi. And it's also slightly difficult to tell them apart.

Overall, I enjoyed the game, but can't get anyone to play it with me.

This is a great game! The DVDs really make it come alive. I couldn't imagine this game without the music, images, film clips, and other various forms of dynamism of the DVDs. The game is great fun and will teach most people a great deal about Star Wars.

A word of caution is in order, though. If you would never call yourself "a Star Wars fan," then you probably will be able to answer only a handful of questions during any particular game. In fact, even the most "diehard" fans are likely to find a few questions that will leave them scratching their heads.

I have a five year old son who loves star wars and absolutely loves this game.

Only the true fan will be able to answer these questions, but if you are, you will love this game!!! My son is #1 star wars fan and he is the best at this game. He loves it. He beats us everytime. Hard core questions that only a true fan will be able to answer. The only negitive I would say is that if you don't know the answers it runs out of DVD questions and you have to use the regular cards.

The best part about this game is getting to watch all the video clips and remembering fondly watching the films in the theaters. I bought this game for my 9 and 11 year olds. Unfortunately, most of the questions are too difficult for them ( or me, for that matter). Unless you named your kids after some obscure alien who got almost no screen time in any of the six films, I doubt this game will become one of your favorites.

I read all the reviews of this product and almost didn't buy the game until I saw it on sale for 19.99 at Toys R Us and couldn't resist. I AM SO GLAD I DID. If you are a Star Wars fan (which I assume you are if you're looking at this game) this game is a must have. Sure some of the questions are easy but some of the questions are extremely difficult (but considering the fandom obsession with star wars even these questions may seem easy).

To prove my point here is a sample question that I though was very hard "Who is Darth Sidious talking about when he says 'I don't want to see this stunted slime in my site again'?" Most people would initially think Nute Gunrray but it's actually the Nemodian standing next to him whose name I still don't recall. The only way anyone could possibly know this dudes name is if they studied the books.

Next a lot has been staid about repeat questions. The game comes with 3 decks of cards and I played the game 3 times the first set and only had 1 or 2 repeat questions. As far as the DVDs go, they are set up for 20 games. That is to say you can play 20 games before you will get any repeat DVD questions. That's not as extensive as the Scene It games but that's still A LOT of questions for only 6 films of material. Overall this game is a must have for casual and obsessive Star Wars fans alike!!

If you know the movies inside and out, this game is fun for the dedicated fan. I play with my son that knows so much more Star Wars trivia than I do but find the game enjoyable. The only minor annoyance is when you land on a pie question too many times, the DVD portion of the game runs out of questions and tells you to use a question from the card deck. Not sure why they could not load up more questions on the DVD but maybe the game is not intended for a poor old Mom that answers so many questions wrong!

Full of fabulous facts about the saga, this game is the hardcore Star Warrior's dream....AND worst nightmare. You'll have fun playing it at home but get fits from your friends who bring it out with a big smirk, saying, "Okay, now, let's see how much you REALLY know about 'Star Wars'...." May The Force Be With You, you'll need it! Hee hee
