The yellow looked a bit too garish, but putting that in white helps I think.
I think that helps a lot. There are probably a fair amount of people who have no idea the enormous volume or extent of the changes. Plenty of apologists like to downplay the changes as though there are just a few barely noticeable tweaks. Your page could go a long way toward helping enlighten casual fans as to what's actually taken place.
Agreed. The unfortunate thing is that the casual fan doesn't want to read. They want to see it in front of them, and having pictures helps.
Admittedly, I'd gotten so used to the DVD edition that I'd forgotten what the original Star Wars film looked like. While it's "just a fan edit", watching Harmy's despecialized edition felt like an altogether different and wonderfully vintage viewing experience and felt close to the original presentation. Point being, seeing it presented closer to "the way it was" really went a long way to furthering my desire to see these films properly restored.
