adywan said: you see, this is the thing. i really don't care any more what changes he makes to these films as long as, before making any more changes, they at least get the basis of the films correct first; the colours and other issues created by the shoddy 2004 versions.

That's exactly how I see it. I never held out much hope that Lucas would refrain from making further changes, but I did hope that some of the color issues would be fixed, and that at least the blacks wouldn't be crushed. I agree with pittrek: I would have settled for a color corrected 2004 SE from this release.
