Hey Harmy,

Just watched the Despecialized Edition of Empire and I LOVE IT! Watched it on my Plasma and it looked incredible. On first viewing, I only really noticed two things that stood out to me.

The first is when we first see Vader on the close up of the back of his head. I thought there was a bit too much blue here because when we jump back to the far shot, there isn't as much blue spill on him or his surroundings at all. In the close up, his helmet just seems a bit too blue as well as the Star Destroyer to the right.

The other thing that slightly pulled me out of the film was the far shot of Cloud City at approx. 1:24:45. The quality of this shot is unfortunately quite poor in comparison to the shots that precede and follow it, but I'm sure there's not much you can do about given the source is most likely of poor quality as well.

Other than that I was completely into it and had a blast. I didn't noticed any loss in quality by stepping down to 720p and in fact thought several scenes looked better in the 720p DE than in the 1080p PDE. 

Can't wait for ANH and ROTJ as well as when you release your list of all the changes to Empire. There were probably things I didn't even notice because they were done so seamlessly. Fantastic work.
