Alright, as I already own the Laser Disc rips on DVD, I was a bit hesitant about going and buying the new Star Wars DVDs. Today however, I picked up Empire Strikes Back to see just how good they are. While it isn't astonishing, they are worth getting. Here's a comparison of the three versions of Empire Strikes Back that I own.
Edited and Filled With Crap:
Limited Edition Theatrical Release
Laser Disc Rips
Now as you can see, there is a big difference in the edited and theatrical releases. It's mostly the color and the format. The edited one is better fit for 16:9 TVs and has brighter/better color.
The other difference is from the theatrical to the ripped. The ripped one looks like it's out of focus compared to the limited edition disc that comes with the new DVD releases. So if you hate the new crap and hate out of focus Laser Disc rips, grab the limited edition ones.
