So has anyone watched these yet?

We would love to know what you think of them.

I STILL haven't had a chance to view them on my HDTV (got a surprise visit from the Aunt & Uncle this week), but my initial impression of them is excellent.

Will report back soon..... 

(EDIT)

(from another thread):

Ok, so I was able to sit down and watch SW last nite, and I'm VERY impressed with the results, DJ and g-force! You did an incredible job and you should be proud of yourselves. I don't think the GOUT could look any better than this- you seem to have utilized every last drop of available quality.

I only have a 32" HDTV so I can't speak to how this would look on a much larger set, but on my TV I was completely immersed in the film, not distracted at all by any PQ deficiencies. I like very much how the subtitles were done, as well.

I haven't watched ESB or ROTJ yet (I'll try to get to ESB tonight) but I think these are going to be my definitive versions of the OT now. I can't imagine wanting to watch the official GOUT discs at all now, or even the OCP Classic Editions which I also like very much.

On a side note- I think your discs will also make the perfect source for anyone wanting to do a hybrid GOUT/'04-DVD project.

Just for clarification- the script used for these discs stabilized the gate-weave and improved the aliasing as well (like in the PWNAGE edition)? The reason I ask is because in addition to everything else, the aliasing seems improved too.

I look forward to watching ESB and ROTJ soon- thanks again for the FANTASIC work! :-D
