Just watched a few parts. Does look really nice.
Not to be a Debbie-Downer here, but I have a quick point to make.
We talk about the bastardization of these films and how Lucas should have never altered them to begin with, but then Ady comes in with this revisited and did some changes to what he felt were things that should have been done. There's no doubt he did some wonderful things I would have much preferred over the special editions we ended up getting from LFL, but... being Devil's advocate here.... What makes Ady's version not a bastardization of the originals versus the film creator's own changes in his intended and approved final vision he released?
I certainly don't think any of what he did was bad, BUT technically the revisited's are altered.
That being said, the colors are FAR better in this than the SE. The visuals are more tastefully updated than the SE. I would have been happy with this overall as a special edition.
True point. Had George done these exact changes, people would have still complained 20 years ago.Not to be a Debbie-Downer here, but I have a quick point to make.

Ady has corrected colours, jump cuts, lightsaber consistency, matte boxes, dialogue, continuity errors. If Lucas had approached the SE with the same mindset we wouldn't care so much about the unaltered theatrical release. Yeah, Ady has added a few things of his own but I believe it was done for the love of these movies and certainly not for financial gain. GL used the SE as a test bed for new digital sfx and again to tie them to the disperate prequels, none of which do anything to enhance the final movies or to fix technological restraints of the time.
I would love to see this, but I have no way to burn a dvd or make a blu-ray. My only real computer is my work one, and I can't download this onto it. Would anyone be willing to burn me a copy? PM if you can!
