That’s an interesting question to ask. Considering Despecialized and TN1’s amazing 4K projects are out, really aside from pushing for an official release we can just compare the two. Personally though I prefer Despecialized for the most part. The SE has some fun bits with it such as the redone dogfight from ANH, seeing Ian McDiarmid in ESB and other stuff like the shockwave rings for both times the Death Star was destroyed but aside from maybe ESB which is the most untouched with the changes serving mostly good purposes? Both ANH and ROTJ have that one change, that one big change that for me just makes it to where I can’t watch them without wincing. In ANH it’s all the Mos Eisley stuff, in ROTJ it’s Jedi Rocks and Darth Vader yelling no before lifting up the Emperor.
