Wait what's the difference between DVD5 and DVD9?

You mean other than taking two seconds of your own time to Google it and find out for yourself?

 

DVD-5 is a standard DVD with the capability of holding 4.7 GB of data. A DVD-9 is a dual layer DVD capable of holding 8.5 GB of data.

 

Thus the DVD9 version will have a higher bitrate, the better the bitrate the better the quality of the image.

 

In think he means in reference to ANH:R.

The DVD-5 and DVD-9 are the same as far as the film itself.  The 9 has some more bonus material - a couple of extra deleted scenes (Alderaan destruction concept and Luke & Biggs), isolated music track and FX breakdown comparison.  The 9 also has better video quality but you have to have a huge high-end HDTV to see the difference.

Purist Edition, by contrast, only comes in a DVD-5, has no bonus material at all - not even menus - and has some changes to the film as mentioned earlier in the thread.
