Hopefully someone can give me some good answers here. Like everybody else, i refuse to give in and buy the special edition DVD's. I do not know anyone who has the OT on laserdisc, but i do own the OT VHS box set that came out in 1995. I recently watched them again to see if the picture quality has deminished, but lucky for me, it still holds up very well. Not as well as the laserdiscs mind you, but very well for VHS tapes 9 years old.

I'm thinking of buying a DVD recorder just for the sole purpose of transfering these movies to DVD just in case Lucas is serious about not letting the OT EVER being released on DVD. I just want to get some feedback from some people to determine if this is a sane proposition or not.

Let me know, and thanks for all your help.
