Don't "get" HD? Do you mean understand it? I know enough about it to know that it's nice to have the Star Wars trilogy and the prequels available in HD finally, especially considering the possible changes that might be made in the 30th anniversary set. I assume the bit-rate (and maybe not even the res?) on Cinemax isn't going to be as good as one would expect on a HD-DVD or Blu-Ray version, but it's the best available so far, so you make do.
