I disagree. Personally Lucas is not going to release the originals. I don't believe he will change his mind no matter what we do. So you might as well bootleg.

New to the site but I see another meaning in Jay's comment. Trouble from Laserdisc or DVD bootlegging would be equally serious. I don't think a judge would appreciate the artistic standpoint of preserving the OT from one medium vs. another.
I predict that the 2004 DVD release will be the most bootlegged release yet because improved PQ and AQ are the only desired enhancements that most hard core fans will accept. Comments from people like 'Laserman' suggest that the splicing won't be a major challenge with the right equipment/knowledge. If done right (Anamorphic, Dual-Layer) someone should mail a set to Lucas to show him how much he tainted his own masterpiece!

HD-DVD will come out in both America and Japan in 2005. True titles will be slow at first but they will grow. No doubt that SD-DVD will not last forever. HD-DVD will eventually replace it. Also I garuntee that Star Wars 30th anniversery will be avaible on HD-DVD.

Tell that to the executives. Hardly anyone wants to go ahead with HD-DVD. And why should they? DVD is their biggest money-maker.
Blu-Ray on the other hand...

Same could be said about VHS in 1996. People could have said VHS is fine for people now and DVD will be a niche. HD-DVD has everything that made DVD successful. Its cheap, its vastly vastly superior, it just makes sense.

The difference in quality between HD-DVD and SD-DVD is huge. Even greater then the difference between DVD and VHS. HD-DVD has twice the resolution of D-VHS, 3x the resolution of HDTV, and 6x the resolution of SD-DVD. The worst looking HD-DVD will be alot better then the best looking SD-DVD. To say that the picture quality won't be much better must come from a person who has never seen a D-VHS movie on a good HDTV. Its amazing. Also unlike Sonys junk HD-DVD can be manufactored with the same assembly lines as current DVDs. With that HD-DVD will be very cheap. Laserdisc and D-VHS were both niche formats because they offered higher quality at the expense of cost and convience. HD-DVD offers much much better quality with all the cheap cost and convience.
