And I used to have some old cool imported VCD's of the Star Wars films I
used to keep around for sentimental old-school '99 birth-of-DVD-geek
value, back when we were all seeking them out on Ebay because thought

I pulled them out again to see what they looked like nowadays next to
the real disks, and HOLY CRAP, the quality looked awful! ;)
