I do have an issue with paying Luca$hFilm for a DVD produced from a transfer, digital or otherwise, that's more than 10 years old. Luca$hFilm have the technology and the resources to produce new transfers using up-to-date techniques.

And there's not even a question over whether these DVDs will sell. They know they will. They wouldn't be releasing them at all otherwise.

What with Luca$hFilm's track record and the upcoming 30th Anniversary, I do not believe that they will stick to the "last time ever" plan. I will not be blackmailed by their ridiculous plans to withdraw these editions on the 31st December either. Maybe these editions will be out for the "last time ever" but they know that they can milk the OOT just as much as they have the SEs (2 releases in as many years?!!).

I have not purchased any SW DVDs so far, SE or PT. I see no reason to change my mind yet. I have 4:3 letterbox copies of the OOT on VHS. They still work. I still have a VHS player. Luca$hFilm can fuck off if they think I'm going to buy these releases just because they're DVDs.

I think I have a right to expect more from a company that has prided itself since 1977 on having the most cutting-edge technology.
