I watched "Empire of Dreams" last night.  Am I wrong, or did they use extensive footage from the original theatrical releases in that?  Even Jason Wingreen's voice appears as Boba Fett.  The stuff from the original Star Wars looked dodgy in places, but for Empire & Jedi, I believe it was really good quality from the original theatrical editions.  The lightsabers aren't all screwed up, and the color timing looks to be pre-97/04.  That begs the question of where did they get those good prints from if Lucas insists the films are in irreparable condition?  Can someone with a sharper, more educated eye double check this?
