A DVD of Star Wars Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (1980 & 2004 Versions, 2-Disc Widescreen Edition

No Star Wars fan should be without this. It’s considered the best of the series and has the theatrical and CGI version. The best of both worlds. You or the Star Wars fan in your life will love it.
How to Win

-
The Force says, “May the Kenobi be with you.”
-
Obi-Wan can’t breathe in space. All the air is too scared of him.
-
The Empire almost named the Death Star the “Obi-Wan,” but they thought it would be too scary.
Leave a comment with your fact using a valid email address. The best entry will be chosen by us and the readers.
Enter as many times as you like. If you’re announced the winner, be prepared to provide your mailing address within 48 hours. If you don’t respond, we’ll award the prize to the second place winner.
