Great release: "It's not the way it was, it's the way you remember it"... (or something like that)
Mr Lucas was talking about this edition, wasn't he?

I love the rough and direct-to-the-point feeling of the theatrical release.

But your edit (and footage rework) of the 2004 DVD looks probably as good to me:
it's a bit more round at the edges but it gives a little more life to the background with as few drops of CGI as needed (the one that don't distract from the story)...

Thanks for creating & sharing this version. (Darth Editous, russs15, segaflip, all the rest...)
