Title: My laser disks look better than this
Product review: Very disappointed - my old laser disks look better than the movies on the bonus disks. The bootleg DVDs I purchased years ago that were burned from the laser disks look better than the movies on the bonus disks. Kinda shocking, actually, because I can't figure out how that happened! Re the non-anamorphic transfers, I am not personally disturbed because I do not own a HDTV. Still, for those who do, and since I might purchase a HDTV in the future, it is more than very disappointing that Lucasfilm didn't spend the approximately $100,000 it would have cost to do anamorphic transfers so that the films would fill up the widescreen without distortion or loss of picture quality. I'm not concerned about the Dolby 2.0 because, as has been noted, that's what was available when the films came out. If Lucasfilm had just done the anamorphic transfer and made sure that the films were no worse than the old laserdisks, I would have been happy. But unfortunately, I am not happy.
