You'll have to contact TR47 for the full features and pricing info (TR47@burntmail.com if I remember right). It's a single layer set, uncompressed digital 2.0 audio from the definitive edition original trilogy laser discs (great sounding through a Pro Logic II receiver!). The only "problem" I've found is that there is a 4-second pause before the "Leia welding scene" in Empire. Otherwise, great video and audio! I haven't gone through all the special features discs, but there is definitly a lot of material in them (mainly various "making-of" documentaries that are not included on the Supplemental Materials 4th disc).

Also, you get a CD-R with tons of disc labels, inserts, and box art. I just spent the last couple of hours printing/cutting these out, and I am VERY happy with my "customized" set: "Faces" box and insert art, original movie poster art for the movie DVD labels, and the new Special Edition art for the Bonus Disc DVD labels (the 3 bonus discs materials match up with the 3 movies). Now I need to find some double DVD cases, instead of storing the bonus discs behind the inserts in sleeves.

+1 for the TR47 set. I just received his "deluxe" 7 disc set (8 discs when including the CD-R with printable artwork), and I have to say that I am very, very pleased. Video and sound quality are extraordinary, and the bonus discs have a lot of great "making of" documentaries (several hours worth, including From Star Wars to Jedi). Plus, it has some deleted scenes (ex. Biggs on Tatooine, Han with girl in the bar) and some cool extras like "Troops," casting outtakes and some other neat extras. I'm very pleased with this set, and will not be buying the official release this fall, since these bonus discs more than make up for any bonus material Lucas is going to include.

Thanks to TR47 for offering such a nice alternative to the Special Editions.

Itchy-

Thanks a lot for your input! My Xbox is a fairly early model (Philips drive), and plays everything I've thrown in it, including CD-R's, CD-RW's, etc. It's only had a hard time reading my cheap Asian Star Wars bootlegs. BTW: I decided on TR47's 7-disc set. Thanks again!

krazyaboutstarwarsdvd-

I'm having a hard time understanding your posts. Try to use proper punctuation (and sentence structure), and then I might be able to fully comprehend what you are saying.

I'm looking into the dual-layer "Definitive Edition" right now (offered by kduwe@juno.com and his brother rlduwe@aol.com), as it seems to offer cases and some nice cover art/inserts/disc art. I'm also thinking about TR47's deluxe "7-disc" set (with "From Star Wars to Jedi" and all those extra commercials and tid-bits). No cases/art however. Duwe's set is $30 (I think), and TR47's "7-disc" set is $40: which would you guys choose? Thanks! (hope I'm not breaking any forum rules with this post . . . )

Kristthemovieman-

New poster here, but I've been following the discussions on this forum for awhile. I'm thinking about buying another bootleg set, and I was wondering if any of you have experience with playing these on an Xbox (my primary DVD player at the moment, besides my laptop's). I have an older set of Asian bootlegs (audio-video sync problems and all), and the Xbox has a very hard time reading these DVD-R's (plays them only once in a "blue moon" for some reason).

I'm thinking about going for the TR47 set, but I'm worried that my Xbox will have a hard time reading these also. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
