Did anyone buy the '04 DVDs without knowing how botched of a release it was or that it didn't include the theatrical versions? I participated in forums reading about the set before they came, so it was no surprise to me. but before that I just assumed Lucas would include the OOT with the special editions in the DVD set, and they would be treated with the best preservation efforts possible. It's just common sense.

When I bought them, I wasn't really posting on any SW-related messageboards yet, so I actually didn't know about the problems. I mean- I knew they were the Special Editions, so I bought them kind of joylessly, but I didn't know about the color or audio problems...or Hayden Christainsen.

However, the minute I popped in the SW disc, I immediately noticed the strange look of the Tantive corridors. When Princess Leia was captured by the Stormtroopers to meet with Vader, I knew there was something "off" about the coloring.

Just be happy about the dvds sets and look forward to the blu-ray releases when they eventually come out. That's all I'm saying.
