It's funny just how much Star Wars has changed in my eyes over the last seven years. When the 2004 dvd set came out, I was pretty psyched.
2006 is when it really started going downhill for me. That day in May of '06 when I read confirmation from Bill Hunt at thedigitalbits that the unaltered Star Wars trilogy would in fact be from the laserdisc masters and that Jim Ward's comment about "state of the art, 1993" was quite literal .... oh boy, I lost a lot of respect for Lucasfilm. I would've rather they put out nothing at all than shovel obsolete transfers whilst acting like they were doing us a favor. It was just insulting.
Of course, I had become an avid collector of the comics around 2005 and kept doing so for a while after that, but I must've stopped a couple years ago because I literally can't remember the last time I bought anything Star Wars related.
