Yep. It'll probably be the worst-quality release in the history of the dvd format, but I may grudgingly buy it save the OT legacy. Im convinced its going to look worse than a beta tape, but lasts longer.

Unfortunately, this is going to be the last release of the OOT ever. Hopefully these werent made on cheap DVr's and hopefully they won't disintegrate in a few months

That's true. Every minute of the PT has several thousand contradictions with the SW trilogy

Many are saying why i stated what I said about the PT not being any good. I have come to the realization that the idea of the PT was doomed from the start.

Oh yeah. that a cartoon about the Clone wars would be better than the entire PT
Seriously, i think that the PT is now worse than all the films in imdb's bottom 100 combined

Another thing
That the PT would be explicity ripping off famous scenes from famous movies
That Qui-Gon Jinn would exist
That there would be a darth vader Mr.Potato head
The DVDs would be a commercial for other products
VHS and DVD would be a curse for the life of the OOT

That the star wars trilogy would be the highest-grossing franchise that will be destroyed
Racism would be revived in the form of JarJar Binks
That Clones would seem too much like our present
That Luke was born first

Because Sith had the burden of tying a billion loose ends in two and a half hours. An impossible task, obviously, and that's why the movie and the entire PT sucks

(If anyone thinks the PT is not that bad, stop breathing the gasoline)

Im betting that after 2007, Lucas will insist that the OT was meant to be seen in 3-d, and thus we will get blu rays with the obscenely changed 3-d super special edition- i dont want to know how bad the quality of a HD OOT will be come 2015. (based on the current treds)

mielr, I too was shocked that the OOT was coming out two monts ago, but I think Lucas is only doing this to stop the bootleg market. It's just like when he wished the SW holiday sepcail destroyed-he repeating himself by giving us a shoddy product.

In other words, Lucas doesnt care about the OOT, PERIOD!

At age 85, you will be hunted by a strange apparition resembling Andy Griffith, and subsequently commit suicide after the stress proves to be too much.

No, I will starve to death from the oil crash because the state of California is a massive desert artifically kept alive by cheap energy, just Arrakis in the Dune series.

-sigh- I hate to say this, but this is the best we will EVER get on DVD for the OOT. Yes, it's letterbox, a virtually unused technique for presenting widescreen fims since 2000, and Lucas has won. Tampering can be made to make it somewhat anamorphic, but in six months time Lucas will be victorious in his decade-long destruction of a beloved trilogy. SW has become Disneyland now-a work that is never finished. Sure after Lucas kicks the bucket his successors will definitely want to keep Lucas' intentions alive and we'll get the Stalinist censorship and reenvisioning claiming to be his intent back in the 70s. I know I said I would avoid the DVDs like the plauge, but VHS will fall apart after ten years, but at least DVD last 5 times longer than VHS and by then it can be a tempelate to keep it in substandard conditions for every future video format to eternity. It just proof of the death of something we loved.

Well concerning the 2005 boxset without the bonus disc (or the 2nd annaul SW trilogy release), I think it's Fox's policy to release a single disc edition after the DVD is released, and the same with dreamworks.

If all you have is the VHS, then you should really get the DVDs. For those of us who own the LDs and a LD player- the benefit is less clear, but even a non-anamorphic transfer will be a huge improvement over VHS, for a lot less money than you would spend on the LDs and a decent LD player.

Even if you have the 04 DVD sets already? and BTW, I dont think I have a widescreen computer (it's a gateway)

This is why even Jedi is better than ROTS- no hayden and fewer plot holes.
(I think Lucas chose Hayden because he's his boyfriend, and that explains the whole Jedi ghost contreversy)

Exactly! I wasn't alive in 1977-1983, but I don't like the Orwellian-Stalinist approach Lucas is doing to the OOT

Now it's all going to Lucas' plan. He will release the OOT in letterbox, nobody will buy it, he will claim there isnt a demand for the OOT, SE gets altered and rehased on an annual basis, so by the time blu ray arrives we only can see the OT in 3-d and with so many alterations that the 04 dvds begin to look good. Then the OOT will be truly dead.

Or we can probably anticipate a OT release every six months from now on, eventually getting what we want, but only in subnuclear steps.
