I couldn't agree more. I believe the 'stated' original intent of the 97 SE's was to finally present the movies the way he originally intended them. Apparently, complete with inconsistent lightsaber effects, matte boxes, continuity errors, incorrect Death Star schematics, etc.

Thus, the reason I love the DE version. Everything I loved about the original theatrical versions, with all the little effects glitches and errors fixed the correct way, without detracting from the story. I also look forward to an ultimate HD version eventually...right DE?

A quick question for the Darth:

I'm looking at converting a PAL DVD to NTSC DVD. Is there a quick and dirty way to do it? Perhaps a program that takes a DVD rip and does an automatic encode to the opposite standard. This may be wishful thinking, but I can hope. I actually have other NTSC discs that were sourced from PAL materials and incorrectly encoded as to keep the speed-up, but be compliant for NTSC equipment. If I can just get the ~4% slowdown easily, I'd be very happy...
