The funny thing is that (as if it needs to be said) the discrepancy in quality between the two versions on dvd is, well, pretty much all I keep coming back to these Star Wars message boards over. I say pretty much because I am into other things like the comics. I'm still reading Dark Times because of the upcoming live action series, which is another thing that holds my interest. But again, it all comes down to that hope that we'll all finally get what we want.
The problem is that if Lucas doesn't follow through with actually remastering the OOT, we'll really wish that he just hadn't bothered with the laserdisc ports. A friend of mine makes this sort of comparison from time to time, but I think it's particularly apt here: that's like getting half a handjob. Star Wars will have gone from a piece of history to a piece of mere nostalgia.
