I adjusted my picture when watching DVD's to 'Vibrant' and it really made a difference. I spruced up the colors that were sort of dull before, it gave a little more detail to fleshtones, but the only thing it does is it has a little more red overall in the picture, but it doesn't bother me. The only parts that are really noticeably bad in the movies are the a couple shots of Tatooine & Hoth when they are just showing the sand & snow and you can really see the grain, but it is only for a couple of seconds.
I am telling you guys, you have to tinker with the picture options on your HD TV's, and I think everyone can enjoy the movies again. I have watched them now a couple of times, and I honestly enjoy them now without thinking of the 'non-anamorphic' issue anymore, and dare I say I am pretty happy with them now.
I am a stickler for awesome quality when watching a movie, but for some reason I haven't had a problem with the September 12th release, and I think it goes to show the power of the movies over the power of pristine quailty sometimes. If Lucas includes an Anamorphic O-OT transfer in the '07 Saga Boxset, I will buy it, if he doesn't, then I will pass. What can we do at this point anymore?
I hope this didn't come off as a pro-Lucas rant, cause I still think he is an asshole for the way he has treated the fanbase that made SW what it is today.
