Picked up 1/2 a set...worth completing?

Hi all! I went to the thrift store the other day and scored two bags of lego sets for my kids (some instructions included!) for $15. There was a full Star Wars set (Clone Trooper Battle Pack, 7913), a mixed up Lego Friends set (HELP!), a Ninjago set (Cole's Earth Driller, 70502), and a Chima set (Sir Fangar's Ice Fortress, 70147). I'm a little torn on what to do with them. I sorted them as best I could, but I was wondering - what do you normally do with partial sets? The Star Wars set and Chima set are the only ones that had the minifigures included, so I was wondering if I should try and complete the Chima set, or just give them to the boys for their 'extras'/'free build' box. The sets aren't terribly long retired that I can't order replacement pieces, but they're both larger sets so sorting through piece by piece would be tedious. What do others do when you find partials? Complete them, part them out, or ...?
