Hi Everyone, I had a chance to watch Return of the Jedi last night; here are my thoughts:

The menu is similar to that of Star Wars and ESB.  Beautifully crisp and clear posters alternate slowly in the background with soft music playing.  I like the second poster showing the alternate title to the movie - Revenge of the Jedi!  This disk does not have any bonus features, but makes up for it with the best quality visuals of any of the movies in this fantastic set!  More on that in a minute.

The audio is perfect as is the case for the rest of the set.  Lots of options for the audio lovers out there.  It sounds wonderful.

Now onto the video.  In my opinion of all of the project blu releases, Return of the Jedi looks the best; and that's saying a lot since the others were really good too!  Unlike a lot of other people, I liked RotJ (not as much as SW or ESB) and think that it is a worthy conclusion to the OT.  It was a pleasure to see what a thorough and fantastic job Dark Jedi has done in restoring this movie to high definition.  This version, as with the rest of project blu, looks the best I have ever seen Return of the Jedi look.

There are also 50 chapter selections, so lots of options for those who like to skip ahead to their favourite parts.

In conclusion, an outstanding job was done by Dark Jedi to put this set together and improve in every way what was previously available to put out the real theatrical cuts that we've all been waiting for.  A project of this importance is nothing less than monumental.  Well done Dark Jedi!  Mission accomplished!
