Well, I'd like to counter Neil's unnamed sources with one that's definitely come through in the past:
We all remember Darth First, correct? That's the username of the person who essentially leaked any and all details about the 2004 set in August of that year, long before anyone knew what was really going on. Darth First pretty obviously has some kind of position inside the DVD industry as he got his copies around that August.
Darth First has stated they are NOT using the D2 masters, and are sourcing from film elements to make this DVD
Take from that what you will. He does say that's what he's heard from his people, but First has proved pretty reliable at this. He COULD be misled by these "sources" however, just as Neil's sources could be RIGHT. But still, thought I'd throw that out there, if only to muddy the waters even more
But now there's a proven source of DVD news stating that these DVD's are being sourced from film elements, not Laserdisc masters.

This goes back to what I heard about the films being brought in for washing at a lab sometime last year. I've since confirmed that my friend personally saw canisters for Empire and some of Jedi while working there. Real deals and not Special Editions.
