Yeah, too bad about that. I'd forgotten how nauseating the sarlac's beak looked. It also had some minor fading in certain parts, and a slight green tint, but nonetheless I found it fracking incredible, at least once the abominable Jedi Rocks had finished.

This was my first time ever seeing any version of star wars on actual film(Except tpm, but that doesn't count), and I don't think I've ever seen special effects presented more convincingly. The space battle was fucking epic. None of the releases I've ever seen have ever conveyed that sense of depth in the moving starfields and ships, and the resolution was obviously fantastic. Despite all of the flaws of the cg and and the print's passage through time, never before has it seemed so strongly that its right there happening before my eyes.

Thank you so much, Nadcraker for pointing this out, this was really a one of a kind experience for me.
