I'd call that one hell of a broken scale, personally. Okay, yes, the 2006 DVDs weren't perfect, but their imperfections are horribly exaggerated.

I was one of the few here in May after the non-anamorphic announcement who was telling people to buy the set in September, as I have loads of non-anamorphic DVD's in my collection, and alot of them aren't that bad. I have The Abyss, Romancing the Stone, Home Alone, Wargames, Hoosiers, Crimson Tide, and if the OOT was on par with any of these discs, I would have been happy.

When I bought them Sept. 12th, I was shocked at how fuckin bad they were, I knew I was taken the second I saw all that grain on Tatooine and Hoth. Lucasfilm did nothing to these films, and on an 50" HD TV, they look like shit. If you are watching them on a 32" 4x3 TV, they won't be that bad because it is very hard to tell great quality on sets that aren't big screen.

I feel like I got totally taken on this set, and I fully regret buying now as I have gone back to putting up with the SE, cause they are really great quality, and I just wince at the few scenes I totally hate: Greedo shooting, Jedi Rocks, Hayden in ROTJ, etc. I put The Abyss in the other day and get mad cause if the OOT looked like that, I would be happy and probably wouldn't even give a shit about a future release of the OOT. I bought The Abyss in 2000, and have never clamored for an Anamorphic transfer, but I would buy it if it came out.

Sorry dude, I apologize to anyone who I tried to tell to buy the OOT all summer, as I kept telling them non-anamorphic isn't as bad as you think. This whole set is a piece of shit, and the fact that I have reverted back to watching Jedi Rocks should tell anyone how shitty this quality must look on a 16 x 9 TV set.
