Yes, I have v2. Unfortunately, this was sent to me before ocp realized that he left out the Greedo subtitles by mistake. So, I'm waiting for the final version before posting. I'll update when I have info...


MoveAlong,

Aside from the subtitles issue, can you give us your opinion of version 2?

Are there compression artifacts? Is the restored footage more seamless than in version 1?


It is more in line with ESB and ROTJ CE's. The bad "blocking" of v1 is gone and, yes, restored footage is much more seamless. The 2004 footage is color corrected and the gamma levels have been adjusted. SW 2004 is SO dark, and it is difficult to bring back black details that have been crunched to oblivion. v2's blacks are a little "noisy" at times. If you enjoy the CE trilogy, you should get v2. Still haven't heard when the "final" version will be coming my way. I'll keep you updated...
