It was my joining this forum in 2005 – originally looking for a way to transfer my laserdisc to DVD.....

You really need to stop demonising Lucas, after all he saved you the trouble of doing the transfer yourself. ;)

As for myself, my interest is in SW is in only 3 things; SW/ TESB/ ROTJ and nothing outside of that. I don't think them being released on dvd will change things as like yourself my interests have already settled.

Though if they are released on dvd I will then be content and watch them to the day I die (Even when new formats emerge those dvds will always be able to be ripped to hard drives etc). My interest won't wain due to the lack of new product or new stimulus from SW.
