God, I hope not ... is the awful edge enhancement at least not present in the HD broadcast? I can live with for the color correction and theatrical cut, but it'd be real nice to be able to watch TPM without it for once.

Unfortunately it is present. One thing i found interesting though was that it isn't present or as present in every shot of the movie. it seems to be really noticeable where there is an special effect present in the shot. shots that don't have an effect element seems to have no or very little edge enhancement. this makes me wonder if this was applied in the computer when they were creating the effects and a slight sharpening filter applied for the DVD/HD transfer. it does seem a bit strange that the only the shots that would have had some processing done in the computer has the really noticeable haloing effect. hmmmmmm.

and something has begun to appear in a.b.starwars. wonder what it could be? ;)
