I bought the Bootleg Star Wars Trilogy special Edition dvds, and I am suprised to say that they are great!
The transfers are from the special Edition Laserdiscs, not VHS.
They are in 2.35:1 Widescreen they claim to be anamorphic but since I have a 4x3 Tv I can't say if thats true.
The Image is clean except for ocasional specs of grain.
The aound is LD 5.1 and it rules.
I bought my dvds at this site: http://www.newdvd.cc/dvd/dvdsc_032.htm
It took them 12 days to ship.
So thats my bootleg review!

$35 bucks? It's not worth it to me since it's just a bootleg. I'll wait 'til the official DVDs.

I either need to get the real laserdisc original version of the OT, or find a good DVD bootleg of them. None of that special edition junk. The THX enhancements would be fine however.

Sounds cool
. I'd get them, but knowing me the day I get them LucasFilm will announce that they're gonna be officially released. I'll just wait for the real ones.

Those are some dang cool covers though. Are those pix of the LASER DISC? That ROTJ cover art I have never seen.
No matter how I die, even if there is a suicide note; it was murder. Cheers!

That's because they used the ROTJ artwork on the ESB disc.Originally posted by scruffziller

I can't stand the fact that they used inconsistent pics for the covers. How hard is it to use the pics from the VHS releases?
I also hate the word "androids", but oh well . . .

Once I bootled in public with this charming girl from Poughkeepsie. The cops caught on to our bootling and insisted we stop the bootle. I have not bootled since. Darn shame, too. Bootling in public is good exercise. I highly recommend everyone who reads this: Bootle whenever you can!

They look good as I got em too........
Bought mine here though:

I also went to Ebay & bought a laserdisc player with 10 LD's for $60 bucks, & all three SW LD's in Widescreen format so that I would be legal!!!!
The DVD's I bought just saved me the trouble of ripping the LD with my Radeon VIVO & converting it to MPG2..............
