One of the things I like the most about the 2004 DVD's is the way they have such nice black levels. The final duel in ROTJ is nice and black now, where before on VHS it was like someone turned on all the lights in the throne room.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

The '06 GOUT has better black levels. Infact, watching Star Wars the other day on my 30" HDTV, i was surprised at how good it looked. It has all the problems of the LD transfer, but i was pretty shocked when i realized during the TIE attack on the Millennium Falcon, there were NO visible grabage mattes. In fact, no garbage mattes were visible through any of the space scenes. They were there if you turned up the brightness, but i used the THX setup feature on the disc to calibrate my monitor, then turned up the color about 4 or 5% so it wasn't quite so washed out looking & it looked great (not astoundingly, but noticably better than my DC boxset, which i watch on the same tv). Of course, this didn't address the resolution, grain, DVNR, and other problems, but for what it is, it looked very nice. This is, btw, the first time i've watched any of the GOUT all the way through, before this, i had just popped them in & watched various scenes/clips.

I'm sure the 06 OOT is also much nicer than previous home video releases.

Six to one, half a dozen to another. They're all shit compared to how they could look if they were given a proper restoration treatment...Criterion style or something.

I simply will not accept such a shabby product. No one, no how is going to change my mind into accepting these pieces of shit for anything more than what they are...shit.

I will point out one thing....LFL has something in common with the majority of its fans...low standards.
