Oh and I just wanted to add something to that Obi-Wan scene: Let me explain, that I would have aesthetically preferred the scene the way it was on the last WP, so it was an internal struggle for me and in the end I decided to follow the reference as closely as possible, instead of my personal preference.

@Sunday: Wow! That's exactly what I want for my home one day, except for all the prequel junk, I'd replace that with some OT awesomeness ;-)

 

I likely would have preferred the same thing Harmy. LOL. I still think something is amiss though with it being as bright as it is in spots. The IB print may look that way, but how it appears in the dark...projected on a huge white screen has some effect as to how it looks to the viewer. When you change the context of how it's being viewed today, I dunno. But not all of that scene is entirely overly bright though. But my eyes definitely aren't playing tricks on me. I still have 20-20 after all these years and I see colors perfectly. I've got a great visual memory and when I first watched that scene it screemed blinding bright to me. I certainly would have remembered that. But what's done is done. If you make a 3rd pass, maybe you'll go with your gut the next time. LOL. :)

As for the prequel stuff in my home theater, I enjoy the prequels as I do the OT. And there are things about both trilogies that get under my skin. The trick I've found though is to just not worry about it. Take it for the context it's in. I loved the OT the minute I saw it when I was a kid just like I loved the Avengers movie the minute I saw it earlier this year. Give me 20 more years and I'll find more to nitpick about both. LOL. Age has a lot to do with it. When you reach 43 years old, look as good you will not. LOL.
