[quote]Overall, however, the Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (Limited Edition) DVD is a worthwhile purchase only for folks who love the movies unconditionally, do not own previous versions of the films on DVD, or (do not) worry as much about home-theater presentation (and in fact would be hard-pressed to discern between the two editions on a small, non-widescreen television). Otherwise, however, avoid these sets by any and all means; no matter how many retailers offer cool slipcases, comic books, or other swag, these sets were designed as a sort of back-handed show of gratitude to fans, or more likely as a stopgap for folks who wanted the originals and have yet to hear about the releases coming in 2007 in honor of the series' 30th anniversary.[/quote]
(Parenthetical "do not" is mine, an editorial attempt to make the statement unambiguous.)
