I think we all just have to take a step back and see how everything turns out. I'm sure there will tons of reviews come late August, and we will be able to make our decision on whether these are good quality or just rehashes.

I have grown to hate Lucas these last 10 years, but I just can't see him putting out a crap product on DVD. Call me naive, but I still think this will satisfy the majority of fans who have wanted the O-OT, but of course there are always going to be some fans that are never happy.

I have one theory in that they are making these versions worse quality wise to prove a point that the SE are superior, and possibly turn the non-hardcore fans off about the O-OT. Lucas knows he can't change the diehards, but there are many younger fans on the bubble who have never seen Han shoot first. So in the end, many fans will just buy these just to have them for history sake, but will chose the SE for quality reasons in the end. This way Lucas makes his money, and he can say he released the O-OT. Just a theory......
