The disc art looks a lot better than the actual covers, except for the bonus materials.

They're not that bad, except for those Photoshoped lens flares on the sabers.

When I get a capture card (and some knowledge about video editing software) I'm going to burn my laserdiscs onto some DVDs.

Is this is Special Edition-only still?

What's with Luke's "Master of the Universe" pose on the disc?
Weren't alive back in the day huh. It's all good, us old-school fans welcome new fans.
As for Star Wars fans, am I the ONLY one left who actually enjoys Episode II and parts of Episode I?
It's crazy, the movies weren't that damn bad, and actually had many redeeming qualities.

That packaging is quite sexy...but that Anakin...

Good to know. There are some parts that make me roll my eyes with the dialogue and wooden acting, but all is forgiven once the sabers make their appearance. I don't know what people expect from movies sometimes, especially followups to some of the "best" movies of their era. Truth be told, the OT isn't that damn good, and the PT isn't that damn bad.
They are just movies people, get over it and just enjoy them.

Finally someone I agree wholeheartilly with on the OT/PT issue. All 5 so far are pretty decent films, and I don't quite understand how people didn't like them. I can see people not liking certain actors because they suck, but this has always been the case with Star Wars, even in the OT. If anything, I think the PT storyline is quite good, it just starts off very slowly/nearly uneventful in TPM, but that's to be expected. TPM was the formation of the formation of the Empire. I still found it interesting nonetheless, only turned off by the pod racing snorefest.
I just adore AOTC though, one of my top favorite SW films. We really get to see a strong change in Anakin's personality and Palpatine's change as well. He wasn't as menacing in TPM, but AOTC made him seems much more full of deceit. EP3 will top them both and maybe even the OT for me. It looks like it will definitely be the darkest of the 6 and even the most action packed I guess. I'm liking all that I know about it so far, can't wait.

No. The hatred for Eps. 1 and 2 is just ridiculous and unjustified. Imo it's just a bunch of front runners who are incapable of forming their own opinions and rely on anything that critics tell them.DJ_Tet said:
As far as these discs go, they look awesome! I kinda wish the disc art for Epside 1 and 2 had been this elaborate. :\ At least the boxart matches the same type of design as Eps. 1 and 2 now though.

I really don't give a fuck about Star Wars, but Ep. II just sucked as a film. I cringed my way through it.
I enjoyed the original trilogy and Ep. I though. Personally I think all the films have problems, but none as much as Ep. II.

They weren't full to the brim with boring political discussions and inane attempts at romantic dialouge? They were filmed on real sets and real locations? The world felt like a real world, and not a Saturday morning Cartoon?

For me, it's characters you actually like and care about. Not the horribly phony characters in the PT.

omg everyone uses that one corny line almost as if it's their primary reason for not like the entire PT so far.
How many corny lines did the OT have my God? Let's pick out just one of them and use it as a reason for not liking the entire thing! omg score!
And about the political discussions/romantic dialogue: That is needed in this trilogy to set up the events that start off in the OT. Do you expect things to just magically situate themselves for the OT? No, it has to start from somewhere, and events NEED to be explained.

The original trilogy had a charm the new new ones lack. Partly that's to do with the dialogue, partly the actors, partly the environments.
This is the biggest thing for me. I can't even watch the AOTC DVD because it looks more like a friggin' video game than a movie to me. The video and most of the backgrounds are just so unnatural looking as to be unwatchable. I could watch it fine in the theater, because the film print kind of blurs that a little and softens the image, but the perfect sharpness of the DVD just makes AOTC simply visually unwatchable for me. Which is too bad, because it wasn't THAT bad.
