I bought them based on reviews here, and I regret it. Besides the known anamorphic issue, they are not that much better than the PAL transfers, the packaging is crap (I mean really budget), the DVNR smearing is still there, and FOR **** SAKES the subtitles go off the bottom of a widescreen when zooming in to use full width! Hello? Hello? This is hugely jarring and basically wrecks that entire scene. How amazing, they found a new way to destroy this previously destroyed scene.

I appreciate that some Lucasfilm employees appear to have forced George to agree to a basic release, but it's not very good.
