Before the official announcement I had often thought that the X0 would be the best possible version of the movies it would be possible to attain. I started out with a TR47 set, then ocp's work, now I'm getting the Editdroids--comparing them all is interesting. Once the official release comes, assuming it's any good, I'll probably give up my comparison game and just watch that, but I want to see how the X0 measures up to it. There's always going to be something preferable about one version over another.
But I have to wonder, though: with all this work going into making these projects, doesn't it make it difficult to just sit back and watch them as movies, and not think about technical considerations or pondering changes? If I just relax I can almost watch the official '04 release and not get upset with it (key word being *almost*, of course). Hell I had a great time watching with my buddies in college when it first came out. Someone on theforce.net was saying that you could use the THX optimiser on the discs to calibrate your tv settings properly, and having done that I found that some of the colour issues on the '04s became less bad (Vader's lightsaber went from nasty magenta to its proper red in most shots, and the Tantive's walls were more white and less blue, among other things). Still, you shouldn't really have to mess with your tv to make something watchable, and it doesn't change the sound mix on ANH being complete crap. The X0 will therefore always be a far better viewing experience since it is going for a proper colour scheme throughout.
So keep up the great work, you guys! Do you know what sound mix/mixes you will be using, perchance?
