Well now that I know they are drawing from the Laserdisc Masters rather than just dumping the old Laserdisc content onto DVD, it might just be better. We'll see though. Personally I prefer the best quality regardless of piracy. I've been taken advantage of long enough.

They're not taken from laserdisc, and they're a legal release. If you prefer, buy the laserdiscs - but they'll cost more and I assure you the DVD will be better quality then the LD. .. oh and you have to live with the annoyances of the LD format too... no thanks, I'll buy the DVD.


You need to brush up on news articles. I believe LucasFilms responded to questions on the quality of the upcoming releases and they stated it will be taken from the best source available for the non-SE OT. Which are the Laserdiscs. I think Sansweet confirmed that as well. Now like I said, a lot of people here say it's the Laserdisc Masters, so it will definitely be better than ripping the Laserdiscs to DVD, but we'll see.

I don't think anyone was referring to actually owning the Laserdiscs.
