Thanks, ADYWAN was it.

And I just got done skimming through this.  AMAZING!  I don't have time to sit and watch the whole thing right now, but what I saw was incredible.  I don't know how you did it, much less in two weeks.  The only version of ESB (or any of the SW films) I've watched in years is the GOUT.  I had gotten quite used to it, honestly.  This felt like watching it in HD it was so different! 

I did notice that in some scenes (the carbon freeze chamber in particular) that the crushed blacks still reared their ugly head (especially jarring coming from the GOUT to this).  And that Vader's saber is still a little pink at times.  And that a few SE changes were still in there (Luke grunting as he rolled down the steps during the duel).  But over all it is such a HUGE improvement that I really don't mind those things. 

And after watching the Puggo Grande & this, it's so refreshing to see Star Wars without all the dvnr smearing!!  It makes it that much harder to stomch the fact that we're not getting the originals on Bluray....
