And while many of you didn't want a laserdisc transfer, I remember huge threads over at TFN where people were saying that if Lucas doesn't have any quality prints laying around anymore then the least he could do was give us one of the laserdisc transfers.
Again, I think most of the people who really wanted the O-OT on DVD will agree that this is better than not getting it at all.
Sure it's not the best it could be, but it's better than any previous home video release of the O-OT, including the laserdisc this master was created for in the first place.
Also, when I was talking about "crappy presentation" I wasn't tring to even get into the quality of any given movie in it's own right, merely the crappy presnetation a film based presentation provides. Unless you see it the first time it was unspooled (and usually only theater employees see the first unspooling) it will have dirt, scratches, and image instability.
