It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I'm just amazed and annoyed at how Lucas completely ignored this opportunity, and tried to pull the wool over everyone's eyes. I'm also not impressed with the screwed-up audio. Both DVDs are an embarrasment, and the surprising lack of sales has finally made LFL take notice. Had I and many others ignored principle and bought them, Lucas never would have noticed. Wouldn't surpise me if the 30 year box was stopped because someone finally talked sense to Lucas.

I agree the whole way Lucas has handled the DVD releases, even dating back to April 2000, and only releasing TPM on VHS at first left me ??????????????? I used to get mad at Lucas, and grinded my teeth at how out of touch the man is with the fanbase, but I finally told myself to put my personal bias aside and just enjoy SW on my own terms.

Now I am still not saying everyone should buy this set, cause if you own an HDTV, it is even more noticeable on how bad the transfers are. But if you are on the fence, and just want to watch SW, ESB, and ROTJ without all the new additions in better quality then what you have, I say buy it.

The numbers are already in on this release, and whether it sells a couple of more copies 7 months after the release will not determine what Lucas does in the future. I mean the 2004 DVD were the #1 seller that year, so why should Lucas think that anyone would want to the OOT on DVD by those numbers? But he still did, albeit inferior quality, so the suits up at Lucasfilm know what the fans want, it is whether they are smart enough to put something out that people like.
