No. I actually expected it to bother me more.
-Is the quality actually better than you expected?
Yes. Many scenes look quite good, and much better than they ever did on any copies of Laserdisc that I have owned.
-Are you just putting aside any quality issues and just enjoying the movies again pre-97?
Sort of. I'm trying to, but the aliasing problems are VERY apparent on my 70 inch screen.
-Have you put your hands up, and just become disgusted with Lucas and SW in general now?
I still love Star Wars. But I'm not so thrilled with Lucas.
-Has it made you want to watch the PT movies and become a saga fan PT + O-OT, or are now a true O-OT fan and the story ends with ROTJ, and begins with SW.
It has absolutely NOT made me want to watch the PT. In fact I haven't looked at the PT at all since I got these. In watching the O-OT I continue to see all the great possibilities of what the PT could have been, but wasn't.
-Have you pushed others to buy it who were on the fence?
No.
-If a remastered O-OT never comes out again, will you be content with this set?
No. I'm not content with it now. The O-OT deserves to be released in a version as true to the original theatrical experience(s) as possible. This release does not completely accomplish that. However, I am THRILLED that the 1977 version of the opening of STAR WARS has finally been included.
What really needs to come in the next few years is a high quality HD release of the OT, including ALL the original soundtrack versions (70mm Six Track, 35mm Dolby Stereo, and 35mm Monaural as appropriate). If it's really done right, I will be content with that.
