I have to admit that I only watched the SE/2004 DVD versions of Star Wars from 1997-2004. The reason was I absolutely abhor full screen films and with so much of the picture missing I wouldn't really be seeing the theatrical versions. Now I have a set of the OOT on DVD and it's great. But the picture on the 2004 is so much better. Actually, the last time I watched Empire, I watched the 2004 version, but then switched back and forth between the original version and the 2004 dvd (for the scenes that were not changed.)
