First-time poster. Just watched Star Wars Revisited and have to say it's bloody brilliant. IMO, this version is right up there with the OOT. I don't remember being that excited about watching SW since I was a kid, so cheers to Adywan for that. Since I despise the PT (I've seen each of those movies twice - once in the the cinema and once rented on DVD) and like to pretend they don't exist, I was a bit sceptical at first as it was Adywan's goal to make these two trilogies better fit into one another, but I have to say that all those changes were in good taste. The changes that I tought might bother me the most - PT music during the climatic fight between Obi-Wan and Darth Vader and the restructuring of Obi-Wan hut scene, I actually liked the best. One thing that seemed to be a bit off tough was the loudness of the sound compared to the dialog. I had the remote in my hand all the time and when there was a dialog scene I increased the volume and when there was and action scene I had to reduce the volumne again because it was too loud. Anybody else had that problem?

P.S. Slightly off topic. To all those PT fanboys who keep harping on about how Mark Hamill is just as bad an actor (or even worse) as the guy who played Anakin Skywalker in the PT (forgot his name), I have to say this is absolute BS. IMO, Mark Hamill is no worse and probably even better in Star Wars than Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher (and I say this as a Harrison Ford and Carries Fisher fan). Besides, the work he's done voicing the Joker in Batman - The Animated Series is unsurpassed (haven't seen Dark Knight yet though). I don't see the guy from the PT carrying off something as impressive as that anytime in the future.
