Hang on, are you actually talking about the Partly Despecialized Editions or do you mean the new Despecialized ones?

And anyway, Jedi is also my favourite of the old PDE versions (and I mean the cut, not the film) but this new Despecialized Version should totally blow it out of the water, becuase as you can see in that clip, there will be no more purely GOUT shots where it can be helped (and unfortunately there are whole scenes like the music number where it can't) where the PDE was basically just splicing GOUT shots into the SE.

Side note: As you can see, the subtitles have not been replaced yet in that clip and to be honest I'm pissing blood just thinking about it, because where in STAR WARS replacing the subs was a matter of one scene, in Jedi they are all over the place. But as there seems to be high demand for original looking subs, I think I will do it and this time hopefully without drops in quality like in my ROTJ DVD reconstruction.

Ah sorry Harmy, I wasn't clear. I meant that any improvements to ROTJ in my opinion stand out more than some (not all) of your other work because ROTJ is so messed up in the 2004 SE. So any improvment (if only small) is going to look fantastic in ROTJ because there are so many more things wrong with it in the 2004 SE, but again my opinion. The fact you keep getting things better and better with each PDE makes it truly amazing.

I can take some of the changes in the 2004 SE for ANH and ESB by Lucas but the new stuff in ROTJ is just damn horrible. So I thank you for your work so far on ROTJ, I really do.
