I almost caved when they first came out two years ago, but I kept reminding myself of all the sound errors for SW which Lucasfilm claimed were "artistic decisions." Selling a poor quality product like that and then excusing it was enough to make me avoid it. I did borrow them to see what they looked like, but never watched them in their entirety. I just kept forwarding to different spots on the discs and cringing: Obi-Wan's new scream that scares the sandpeople. John Williams' score fading down during the Death Star battle. That screwed up dialogue between the Emperor and Vader in ESB. And the final bitter pill in ROTJ - a guest appearance by Hayden Christensen.

This time I caved because I admit I would've bought bootlegs that looked as good as these, and probably would've paid more for them. So I have to just keep reminding myself that I've bought high-quality bootlegs and be happy about it.
