I doubt that they will combine the three seasons on to one DVD when they can obviously make more money selling two DVDs instead. They did combine the two Ewok movies, but I think that they only did that because they were trying to sweeten the deal so that people would actually buy it. Clone Wars is widely popular, so they are probably going to try to leech as much money from you as possible. They already had the official release of Volume 1, and they are already working on Volume 2. Unless they sell them as a two for one deal I don't think you will be saving any money.

The bootlegs are nice, especially if you like the way the episodes were originally aired, i.e. complete with chapter stops and all music. The DVD has the episodes edited together only. All the chapter stops have been omitted and wipes and fades have been added to give a Star Wars feel. While this is nice and all, the transitions aren't the greatest. In some places the impact/drama of a situation is lost due to the quick wipe that was added. I was a little disappointed by this. I think they should have included both versions, but hey, that same belief is what keeps this place alive, right?

I have both the bootlegs and the DVD. I wanted to see "Bridging the Saga" and I wanted to listen to the other commentary that was on the disk. Well, the Director's commentary sucked, and "Briding the Saga" was only about 10 minutes long. The picture quality of the episodes though is first class. They look great; way better than my bootlegs.

Hopefully, now that you know more about the differences, you can make an educated decision.
