I watched all three of the Despecialized Editions back-to-back this past weekend and enjoyed the hell out of the experience!  They look great and it was nice to see the OT in HD without all the unnecessary additions.  The blending of HD and upscaled GOUT was a lot more effective than I imagined it could be.  You've done an awesome job, Harmy!

I did notice one glitch in ROTJ that hasn't been mentioned (as far as I know): There are a few seconds of pixelation on Yoda's back during a shot in his hut from 00:39:17 to 00:39:19.  It's the shot after Yoda asks if he looks "so old to young eyes" and Luke says "Of course not."  It cuts from Luke to Yoda and there are some pixels dancing along his back as he turns from the fire. Is everyone seeing that or is it just a bad burn on my end?  I know a version 2 isn't planned, but figured I'd mention it just in case.

Ultimately though, it's a small thing and in no way detracts from an excellent release!  Between these versions and Dark_Jedi's Blu-ray set, I've been in OT heaven lately.  I'm glad that there are people willing to treat the OT with such care, so thank you!
