Gidday,
I wouldn't feel too bad about the NTSC version. I live in a PAL region and opted for the NTSC SW:R for one reason alone: sound. I own pretty much every (official) PAL Star Wars DVD out there, and the 4% pitch rise is quite annoying. It makes the voices squeaky and the music is just... wrong, being out by a semitone. Some movies have attempted to correct for this by pitch shifting but I've never seen it done convincingly.
I'd rather not have the 3:2 jitter and low resolution of the NTSC version, but at least to me it still looks (and sounds) gorgeous.
This is also why I'm looking forward to Blu-Ray and the like - 24fps content played back at the correct rate. Any idea if Adywan is planning a Blu-Ray release?
