I saw SW in the theater 4 times in the summer of 1977, including once in 70mm. Right now, the version that comes closest to that experience in my opinion is Harmy's despecialized edition (not the "partly" despecialized edition... that's different). It's in HD and looks incredible even on a big screen. You will get differing opinions from different people, due to different conditions in different theaters, and because of differing memories.
I'm not aware of any softening in DJ's version. Adywan has several versions so it depends on which one you are refering to. There are also ones sourced directly off of laserdisc like Mothr's. There are other restorations such as the very nice one by darth editous. If you want one sourced directly off of a print, there's mine, the puggo grande (but it's very rough).
And btw, it's spelled "restoration." :)
Thanks for the answer... Did Harmy also make restoration of Empire and Jedi?
Yeah btw. i "rest(o)red" my post... now it`s corrected.^^
