So, I’ve been out of this scene since about the time of the TR47/Cowclops v2 releases. I recently downloaded dark_jedi’s V3 DVD Trilogy and I was blown away. It seems as though his V3 (and eventually his Blu-Ray) version is one of the best in regards to the original, uncut Holy Trilogy.

Strange as it may sound (and because I’m an OCD completist), I was wondering if I could get some opinions on what is the best way to get the 1997 Special Editions (before they were further changed in 2004). I have a set of dual-layer DVDs I bought on eBay years ago that are straight rips from the SE LaserDiscs. The quality isn’t horrible, but I’m hoping one the the remastering experts here has produced a good quality set. Does anyone have any information on this? Thanks in advance for all the help.

PS – I’m not looking for the de-Special Editon’d set, but the trilogy as it was in 1997. Thanks.
