No. I still prefer the Special Edition of ESB and the changes he made. I just said that I can appreciate and understand the original version now. For instance, although I really do like the matte paintings in the original version of ESB and the feeling they give everything, the CGI seems to really open up the city more as Lucas has said. I mean, now I can watch either version ajnd like it for what it is.

But I have a question. Since you were introduced to the Star Wars trilogy through the '97 Special Editions, weren't you already familiar with Clive Revil's Emperor?

Yes, but I haven't watched the 1997 special editions for a long time. I never reallized how great of a performance he actually gave (in contrast to Ian's in ESB).
