I'm a bit of a layman when it comes to describing the picture quality, but I was pleased with how they looked. I'm glad to have the true Star Wars movies in a format that will hopefully be more resilient than the 1995 widescreen VHS tapes I still own.

Thumbs up for me, even if they are "bonus" discs.

This is not just the "Special" Edition, it's the "Special-Special" Edition.

Not only did Lucas perform the switcheroo from Sebastian Shaw to Hayden Christensen (why stop there? Why not replace Alec Guiness with Ewan McGregor? Or the Geico gecko in place of Yoda?), but there are more changes, heretofore undocumented:

1. To accurately date Star Wars, the John Williams music has been replaced with compositions by the Bee Gees.

2. Britney Spears now dances alongside other CGI wonders in Jabba's Palace (she's the blue one with the fanciful tattoo on her backside)

3. Michael Jackson is now the creature whose arm is sliced off by Obi-Wan in the cantina.

4. Billy Dee Williams has been replaced entirely by Rick James. I think you'll agree that the newly added dialogue with Princess Leia really does wonders for ESB: "Yo ass belongs to da Empire now, bitch!"

5. Thankfully, the Ewoks have all been eliminated in favor of a tribe of Smurfs. Gargamel gets medieval on some Stormtrooper butt!

6. As an homage to SW fan films, The Millennium Falcon is now a flying toaster (with wings).

7. Hoobastank have a cameo in the Hoth battle scenes.

8. The Hoth creature is now Billy Crystal in a fur coat ("have fun storming the Death Star!)

9. Whenever Chewbacca turns his head, there are now satisfying "whoosh" noises.

10. The special stormtrooper tool belt around Luke's waist has been colored yellow to more closely resemble Batman's.

11. Instead of carbonite, Han Solo is now suspended in Jello (strawberry flavor).
