I REALLY have to to to bed now (it's after 3AM!!) but I just finished watching the ESB DVD and I couldn't go to sleep without a brief review. I was hoping to watch Jedi tonght, but that will have to wait 'till tomorrow evening.

The sound for ESB was also excellent, and I'd say the picture was at least as good if not better than SW. Again, I saw almost no evidence of garbage mattes, and the clarity and detail in the picture was far better than the LDs. I was totally engrossed in the film- it was like I was seeing it again for the first time.

One thing I noticed in both films is the improvement in the stars. The starfields look far better than in the LD versions. The skies are inky black, and the stars are sharp and clear, unlike the fuzzy blobs on the LDs. There is still the aliasing/flickering when the camera moves, but otherwise I see a huge improvement in that respect.

Fantastic. I'm speechless. I'm going to sleep. Goodnight.
