I sold my 2004 set to buy these. If the Saga Edition manages to have a better treatment of the O-OT than this (which I still doubt), I'll in-turn sell these for the saga set. Otherwise, I'll have my non-degradable O-OT, my license to actually have the X0 project, and all will be well with the world. Otherwise, I'll continue to hold out hope for a properly restored O-OT on Blu-Ray format in about five years. And then I'll sell the 2006 set for THAT.

Actually, this was after B&R. I remember it well. It was about as deluded as Halle Berry's comments about expecting to do a Catwoman sequel weeks after the first one had already tanked.

I guarantee it's because Lucas is too cheap to come up with both a HD and a Blu-Ray master. He probably is smarting over making all those Betamax tapes in the early 80s. He's probably waiting to see who the winner is in the format war.

Which is doubly annoying because it's probably not that much more than a "Save As" option with today's technology to create the master format.

We don't expect high-definition versions yet, as those formats are just too new.

Especially when considering that it gives yet another opportunity for Lucas to rape your wallet a few more years down the line.

Wasn't Lucasfilm supposed to be on the cutting edge of technology? How far the mighty have fallen ...

And by calling the Psychology and Psychiatry professions false. I quote Tom:

"There is no such thing as a chemical imbalance."

"When you talk about emotional, chemical imbalances in people, there is no science behind that."

"People go for help, but their lives don't get better because of those [psychiatric] drugs. They get worse. They feel numb and they're told that's a good thing. It's how you degrade a society -- by drugging the piss out of it."

Then by trying to publicly make Matt Lauer out to be a dipshit for believing in that whole medical farce of Psychiatry and Psychology:

"You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do." (This is from a High School Dropout?!?!?!?!)

Then by publicly bashing Brooke Shields for actually talking about postpartum depression with shit like:

"The thing that I'm saying about Brooke is that there's misinformation, okay. And she doesn't understand the history of psychiatry. She-- she doesn't understand in the same way that you don't understand it."

"Here is a woman - and I care about Brooke Shields because I think she is incredibly talented - (but) you look at where has her career gone?"

"Well, you look at people. Look - is she happy? Is she really happy?"

Tom has done much more to effect career suicide than just overselling his love with Katie. He calls the entire medical profession of helping people's screwed-up minds a crock, and anywhere, especially in Hollywood, that dog just won't hunt.
