Suddenly that guy on Forcenet doesn't seem quite as strange.

No, Bingo...he still is:

"Things like that dont fool me. Sorry.

You can put any image of any movie under a ridiculous magnifying glass with a smug, perfectionist, my-taste-knows-best attitude and make a case that which ever screen posted looks "wrong".

You just pulled the oldest trick in the book. Posted two slightly different images of SW next to each other and demonized the official, smoothed out one that George Lucas prefers. How original.

I think the OOT images look dated and fake compared to the official images. The official images match the rest of the saga much more.

I like the film how lucas likes it. Finished.

And FYI the 1997 cleaning and restoration process done on Episodes 4,5 and 6 was to this day one of the most meticulous restoration processes ever preformed on a film. The original negative was so aged and damaged so badly. The cleaning up they did saved the films. The Saga looks awesome in full 1080p HD on cable and blu-ray. "
