Picked it up - great transfer audio/video wise

Great extras.

Am I the only one that thinks that George Lucas does an amazing job explaining the 6 films, their significance and storyline (especially in the documentary specifically about Darth Vader)? It's unfortunate that he wasn't able to translate those thoughts and ideas in the actual execution...

So far, great DVD. I think your assessment is right on, Craig.

Uuuugh...did he ecplain how he managed to get some of the worst performances ever out of some of the best actors?

lol--no, but I thought of something: Very possible that performances are "bad" because of bad editing. If you were to edit different takes together badly, it could easily create the sense of imbalance and lack of connection that seems to happen in these films--that the actors seem to just be giving line readings that have nothing to do with what they are being given. Just maybe the performances in tact were much better?
