I just finished watching the purist version. Well, I didn't really watch it, more like skimmed through the parts I wanted to see if they remained the same. I'll have to say, I prefer the full/DVD-9 version. I didn't realize how lame the lightsaber battle is with no backround music now. Especially now that it is edited longer with less breaks. The picture of the purist version seems a little lower quality than the DVD-9/full version. Am I just imagining things or is the purist version less color corrected and lower resolution than the DVD-9 version?

This is exactly what the fans wanted. Continuity errors fixed, special effects enhanced, picture restored properly, good color correction, and multiple version to choose from. Instead we got half-assed everything with Lucas wasting most of his time inserting pointless, stupid antics aimed at the kiddies. How is it that an individual with modest resources and the help of fans were able to do all this, but Lucas's mighty, multi-billion dollar empire armed with with susposedly the finest CGI wizards in the world couldn't do a fraction of this?

One nitpick I have Adywan is why didn't you paint red flares on the backs of all the Tie-Fighters? Out of all the subtle changes you made, how could you have missed this one?
