Not to derail the thread any more (sorry Harmy), but I just wanted to chime in and add that DJ's right insofar as these two projects shouldn't really be compared. Harmy's editions, although presented in near pristine video quality, don't succeed 100% in faithfully recreating the trilogy I grew up with. In ANH, for example, the colours (e.g., scenes in Luke's garage, the binary sunset) and FX (e.g., the blockade runner's lasers) don't always capture the look of the original film. My hat's off to Harmy for an amazing job on these films, but even he's admitted they are not perfect reconstructions.

Dark_jedi's editions, on the other hand, although perhaps not as finely-detailed (although I have yet to see the blu's), succeed in capturing the trilogy as it really was (colours, wipes, FX, etc.). From the few hi-def samples d_j shared, it looks like he's successfully preserved SW as I remember it.

I see the value in both projects, and each has its appeal for me, but it really is comparing apples to oranges. Ultimately, I see d_j's editions as Star Wars "untouched," and Harmy's as Star Wars "fine-tuned."
