What is your favorite Star Wars item that you own?? For myself, it's between my Stormtrooper costume and my life size Yoda from Pepsi.

Mine would have to be my Star Wars Trilogy: Definitive Collection Laserdisc Boxset, and my Star Wars Trilogy: Special Editions Laserdisc Boxset. Currenly the only way to see the movies crisp and clear, and in a decent widescreen format. Plus they will last alot longer then VHS cassettes. It sucks to consider that as time goes on, the original versions of the movies, if Lucas never releases them to DVD will become scarcer, and one day cease to exist almost entirely. :(
MTFBWY and HH!!

*grabs his original trilogy original VHS set and locks them in a prefectly sealed indestructable vault*:cool:
I guess I would have to say my major favorite piece is the whole collection itself as one piece. :)
It's hard to choose just one, you know? I guess one of top favorite pieces would be the huge banner I've got hanging above my Collection 1 POTJ figures on my wall which is from Wal-Mart and it says "Buy Episode 1 VHS [whenever]", I think it's 2x6.

There was a children's magazine back in the 70's called "Dynamite!" that my sister collected. One of the issues had an article about Star Wars and a little 16" by 22" poster with stills from the movie around the border and a little black square in the center that said "May the Force be with you!" I had that hanging in my bedroom since I was three years old (25 years ago) and then as I grew out of that phase, I took it down and put in a box with all my other childhood goodies. And forgot about it.
About two years I was rifling through all that old stuff, tossing a lot of it in the garbage and came across the poster. it was ratty and folded up, but it brought back memories of when I was a wee lad and all that, so I took it home, bought a frame and it now hangs in my Living room.
That's my favorite Star Wars item.

I go through favourite fads, so it can be anything from a simple Action Fleet Republic Cruiser to a 6" R2.
My most treasured possessions are the Action Fleet TIE-Defender test shot I got from Galoob in a contest on their old buzzboard, and of course The Star Wars Chronicles book.
Without a doubt, when my 1:1 scale R2 is finished, that will be my fave.

the book, star wars chronicles is indeed my favorite star wars item.
i paid full price fer it back in 97 (i think), and it was worth every dollar. i believe you can find it for less these days 9of course i could be wrong about that), if you don't have it already, track it down, and add it to your collection, you'll love it...............innit!

Since my brother was 10 years old (1982) he had a Boba Fett figure that he carried around with him everywhere he went even after he "grew-up" and joined the Army in 1992. This Fett figure passed between my brother and I over the years and has travelled the world between my brother's travels and mine. It's seen Germany, Saudi Arabia, France, England, Switzerland, Ireland, Sweden, Austria, the Netherlands, Egypt, Italy, and South Korea. I think it is probably the most widely travelled action figure in the world.
It took me buying my brother a 21-back carded Boba Fett to finally get full-custody of this loose, beaten up, yellowed action figure; but it is definitely my favorite Star Wars item of all time. Speculator values can never replace old memories.

Mine would have to be my original Star Wars 1977 Insert Poster signed by Peter Mayhew and Anthony Daniels. Man if I could afford to go to Celebration II I'd get it signed by Kenny Baker and David Prowse. Oh well.

Star Wars? Pah! Hate Star Wars...........
I think my favourite has got to be the Mynock from the Mynock hunt cinema scene. it's such an oddity to have in the collection. All I can think to do is to stick him to the side of the Millenium Falcon. I wish I had more of them because one seems somehow lost and inadequate. pathetic really out of all the larger things I own like the royal starship and the fambaa and the ships and hundreds of figures, all I can think of is a tiny little unposable critter that serves no purpose. But the Mynock it is........ favourite yeah. :)
When I started collecting again sometime in 1993/4, I pulled out my vintage collection and only had 17 figures left. Since then I've replaced all of my lost vintage and loaded up with numerous other goods, but I'd have to say those 17 are my favorite SW possessions :)

I would have to say my favorite SW stuff are the soundtracks to the four movies. I probably use them more than any other SW item. I also enjoy the trilogy soundtrack recorded by the Utah Symphony from the mid-90s. It has stuff from all three OG films including the full Jabba the Hutt theme played as a single song, not part of any other background music.
Besides that, I also like the original SW soundtrack LP I got when I was 7 or 8. I think it's just about the only vintage item I kept when I was a kid. Now, to find an actual record player...

Giant Episode 1 Banner
My friend Ronin got this for me, and before he had it I preseme it was hanging up in a wal-mart toy department somewhere.

Mine I would have to say is probably the original Star Wars VHS Video Cassette with the hard casing and all. I must have watched that tape over 50 times when I was a kid. Not valuable yet it's priceless in my mind.:)
