Okay! I've finally managed to get the trilogy thanks to some very kind individual offering to burn the DVDs for me then sending them to me. But now I've run into another problem. They work PERFECTLY on my laptop... but they don't work on our DVD player. For the first two movies this weird menu pops up that I can't get rid of with this file reading "VIDEO_TS". The only one that actually plays is Return of the Jedi (maybe because this is the only disc that is DVD-R, while the other two are DVD-RW), but for some bizarre reason the quality is absolutely appalling; the picture is slightly pixelated. The quality is fine on my laptop! But I don't know whether this is to do with our DVD player being kind of old (it's the type that also has a VCR player built in). Anybody know why this is?
What kind of output options are on your laptop? If you have an HDMI out, I would just plug that directly into your TV if I were you (assuming the TV has an HDMI input as well).
Or you could always purchase a cheap VGA to HDMI converter (they also make them to convert VGA to RCA if you don't have an HD tv). http://www.amazon.co.uk/Patuoxun-Adapter-Convertor-Converter-support/dp/B00K808RVQ/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1440789123&sr=8-8&keywords=vga+to+hdmi
