Simple question, are there any credits for the "2004 restoration" or whatever they call it? It would strike me as odd if there were none. Is it agreed that, if this were some huge elaborate hoax, however unlikely, that we all get together to beat the crap out of them? There are now clips up on changed Emperor dialogue in ESB and a new voice for Boba(which sounds positively dreadful). I still say most of this is simple video masking. The contrast is too low, making the colors appear richer. Jimbo, I thought you were dead. It surprising that you've only recently posted. People are going apeshit over this on TF.N and Darth-Jett scares me over there. Costently saying things like "another one under the belt" and "victory". I'm getting the impression that if Lucas were to leak a print with Mark Hamil replaced by another actor, they'd be applauding it as pure genius, and that Hamill had nothing compared to this guy. There's nothing wrong with liking the changes, but to rub it in to a fan of the O-OT then ridicule them is downright childish and reminds me why I'm here. Yet it continues, with O-OT supporters being labeled "Lucas hating whiners" and SE supporters being jerks that act like because they "support Lucas" and party with every change they must be the only "True Fans". The door swings both ways, and there's no such thing as a "true fan". There may be different levels of devotion, but accepting the change make you no more of a fan than rejecting them makes you any less. Lucas has literally driven a wedge between the fandom, one not easily repaired.
