I agree, I was never really sure why everyone hated the 97s so much. Obviously, they weren't quite as good as the O-OT, because a lot of stuff just felt tossed in ("Look! Remember Shadows of the Empire? Well, here's a swoop and the Outrider! Also, a big dinosaur! And falling Jawas! And an angry droid! And a shot of Vader getting off his shuttle at Cloud City! And more Dewbacks, and a Sentinel-class shuttle, and so many awesome things that we just HAD TO SHOW YOU!) But they didn't screw with too much, other than Greedo shooting first. And it was nice to see the cleaner picture than the old Faces VHS box.

I loved the SE. Aside from the horribly flamboyant jabbas palace dance number they showed real charm. I grew up with the originals and I am proud to say I still have the originals. Most of my frustration I take out on the DVDs are the fact that I can't see the Star Wars I grew up with in higher quality than laserdisc. I want to show my children these movies. I want them to say oh the originals were soo much better. I like what adywan is doing. I think it is this site that makes me proud to be a star wars nerd again. Before I came here I was just an old fan who thought I would never see the original star wars in high quality. Now I am still the same person I just have friends to cry with LOL

Add the 97s to that. I became disenchanted with everything SW after the prequels and lack of OOT restored. This site and a 97 letterboxed VHS set have gotten me out of carbon freeze. BTW, don't chilled monkey brains taste like jello? May be just my crazy taste buds after the peanut butter filled beetles.
