0 Stars - it's the original movie but the quality is POOR (only 40%
resolution) . I already have the special/updated movies on dvd. My Goal is to obtain the ORIGINAL theatrical release (with all the matte lines/primitive 70's technology). That said..... . . Modern DVD technology has a maximum resolution of 720x480 dots on the screen; a vast improvement over the old videotape technology. But is George Lucas taking advantage of this advancement? Nope. He's giving us an inferior quality laserdisc-to-dvd transfer from the late 1980s: 425x320 (analog letterboxed) That's only *40%* the pixel resolution that DVD can offer!!! What a royal ripoff. The original movie was recorded with 6-track surround & on hi-resolution film <---- THAT'S what we want. The best-possible quality off the original film stock. ----- Get with the program George. You should have released the originals in hi-resolution 720x480. You should have taken advantage of DVD's full potential, not dump some inferior/blurry/lo-resolution video on us. Anybody...
