I still say everyone who wants it should buy it, cause if this set outsells the 2004 SE, it would be the ultimate slap in the face to Lucas. It is inferior quality, yet it outsells the versions he loves? That is the ultimate wake up call to Lucas, that fans REALLY WANT these versions even though they are taking a step back in quality, and would prove that many fans who bought the 2004 set were not buying it cause they loved the SE, they just wanted the OT in any form on DVD.
I understand that this release with the inferior quality is a big middle finger by Lucas to the fans, but he has all the power so the only way you defeat the Emperor is to shove it in his face by outperforming the versions Lucas feels everyone should see.
If this set outsells the 2004 set, than Lucas has a huge question to answer to himself for future releases: Does he release the O-OT & SE fully restored in the same boxset everytime? If this boxset comes in with lackluster sales, then I believe you are making it alot easier for Lucas to answer that question.
Remember guys Lucas may be a jerk, but he is a smart businessman, and if he sees that this set sells more than the 2004 set, he is not that stupid to never release it again.
