STAR WARS SET, really cheap looking?

Adonus are you referring to the paper quality of the inserts? I always like a heavier cardstock for inserts and cover art myself. And yes, I hate those new cases, they look and feel cheap, but they are easily replaced.
I think I will store the box in the closet, and replace the DVD cases.

Packaging - Looks good. Feels cheap. I wish it was like the Indiana Jones Trilogy. At least the discs come in keep cases.
Keep Case Art - Bland. Tries too hard to match the art for Episode I & II. For some reason, it works for the prequels but not the OT.
Disc Art - The BEST part about the packaging. The original theatrical posters are what it's all about.
Inserts - At least we GOT inserts. Saved DVDTalk mucho bandwith with threads reading "Star Wars: No Insert = No $ale."

For some odd (no doubt anal) reason, the thing I noticed most about the overall SW Trilogy packaging is the lack of very many "DVD" logos.
There's a DVD logo on the front of each keepcase; but no DVD logo on any of the spines, none on the the back of each case, and none on the discs themselves. (Just like with Episodes 1 and 2 of SW.)
There are two very-hard-to-see DVD logos on either side of the slipcase packaging of the Trilogy Set; but, again, no logo on either spine of the outer case.
Most DVD releases plaster the logo all over the place -- front, back, disc, and spine. I thought the lack of the DVD logos here was kind of odd. Not a big deal, quite obviously. Just odd, IMO.
I, myself, like to see a lot of these on my DVD packages ----->
I think the official DVD logo looks nice (and classy).
IMO, a
logo should always be placed on the spine of every DVD case.

at least the movies themselves are in keepcases and not crappy cardboard foldup cases. I agree they could have come up with a cool case, but it could have been alot worse..

I mean, really, if he felt fit to digitally upgrade and change each movie, why would he use that god awful original artwork, anyway? I mean, I'm sure he'd say, sorry if you liked that artwork, but it just isn't what I wanted to do.
