Yeah, agreed! Dune really grew on me over the years. The fremen blue eyes and the lack of obviously recycled footage made this edit something special. Some of the cuts are jarring (like Paul's hair suddenly going from long and over his eyes while his face is filty in the duel to suddenly clean and off his face afterward), and although it was intended originally, the scene with Thufer's death does ruin some of the dramatic pacing of the final scene (as it was in the theatrical cut)... but otherwise the 3rd stage for me feels like a more complete and satisfying experience than the Theatrical version (when I've got the time).

Also, thanks I'll try out that password, I always try the author's name and that didn't work for me, so I had to ask!

PS: How is that 2.0 version coming along?
