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.)
You sound like a good candidate for ocpmovie's Classic Editions, then. If you haven't already, you should seek them out--as you may or may not know, they took the clarity of the 2004 editions and mixed in (as fluidly as could be done) elements from laserdisc captures to undo the SE changes. Plus a little extra effort was made to make the sound mix a "best of" from previous mixes, including all the missing lines. Then you wouldn't have to switch back and forth.I have to admit that I only watched the SE/2004 DVD versions of Star Wars from 1997-2004.
