Yeah, Puggo, you're misreading what the "purist edition" is. It's "Revisited" - still a fan edit - but with some of the less really radical changes.

Ok, I stand corrected on that count. However, if I understand correctly, both the "Purist" and "Revisited" versions remove many of the SE changes, and the "Purist" version removes many of the "Revisited" changes as well. So although they both are fan edits and contain changes made by Adywan, it could be said that "Revisited" is more of a fan edit than "Purist". So by Crygor's standards, "Purist", being less of a fan edit (given his contention regarding the relative merits of fan edits) would be the preferred version by definition. Still seems relevant to the topic. Sorry to play devil's advocate :)

Here is the list of the changes that Ady made to the 2004 SE version Link

Some of the changes he made, he adjusted back to the style of the Original for the Purist Version for example: returning the order of Ben & Luke's conversation in Bens home, taking out Prequel music in the duel between Darth & Ben....just a few changes that people on the forum had problems with, so the Purist still contains over 140 changes. Both versions still contain most of the SE changes, bar the Jabba scene, Greedo shooting & the 'comedy' scenes when we arrive at Mos Eisley.
