I downloaded Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi Laserdisc copy from the internet, and they were alright, wasn't as good of quality as I was hoping for. But far better than VHS.

I don't plan on buying the Special Editions on DVD, I'll just download the extra disc. But realistically, even if 20,000 people don't buy the Special Editions DVD because they suck compared to the originals, it's not going to make a bit of difference. It's not so much that I dislike the Special Editions that bad, it's how George Lucas is going about it. First he acts like anyone that doesn't like the prequels is a simpleton, and basically says they'll be classics in 50 years, but people are too stupid to understand them now. Then for the DVDs he's basically said "screw Star Wars fans, special editions are what I want to release. Besides, it'll make me tons of money either way".

This would be the first time I've ever not bought a movie because of issues outside of the movie itself, but I just have a hard time giving that man more money. *cough* IHOPEHEGETSCANCER *cough*
