Which did you prefer, the SE or the 2004 DVD edition?

The 2004 DVDs. The SEs seem like a half-completed work-in-progress, but then again, so do the DVDs, albeit 2/3 finished. ANH gets major points for finally correcting Vader's voice, and improving the lightsabers in the duel as well. In ESB, the HORRIBLE screaming Luke was removed, and although I was a bit underwhelmed by Ian's performance as the Emperor, at least Palpatine is no longer an old woman with monkey eyes. And in RotJ, the Rancor was at last correctly composited. The picture quality in all three films is unmatched.

For now I'll overlook stuff like the numerous new saber errors, the end celebration, and Hayden in hopes that those are on the list for the next third of corrections. If not, that's what fan edits are for.
