God i love controversy.
Please don't do a Purist version ;)
You can't see the lines until 3P0 is being dragged over the top of them so i have never been able to see why a lot of people think this is a mistake and something that needs fixing. Looking at that shot frame by frame it does indeed look like that 3P0 is making those scratch marks and they were not there before. So no fix needed here
I seem to recall watching that sequence going "that's clever, the way they shot it, it looks like 3PO is heavy enough to make those grooves". Don't edit out intelligent film direction.

Don't know if it's just me, but after seeing DE's version again, I think I prefer his camera movement just a wee bit to Ady's. I'm not sure why, but DE's feels more "natural" -- perhaps it's because DE keeps the vane centred in the shot more than Ady? I don't know.
Probably because Ady seems to have warped it to make it look more panoramic.
Ady, is the motion of the camera a done deal, or are you still playing around with it? Either way, it's a definite improvement over the static zoom-in on the matte. A thumbs up to both of you for this subtle but great improvement.
I like Ady's version better myself, and I think it would be a shame to throw away the effort that went into the matte reconstruction.
