I've been a long time reader of these forum and once in a blue moon I've chimed in,also I by no means am any expert in the Tech Talk that you guy's(and ladies) have much more knowledge about. This comment is very similar to the one posted above,about the quality of the OT Trilogies on Blu. I bought the PT on blu first because I wanted to see if the blu ray technology really complimented the Digital photography done on these films and yes I think it does. Love ,Like or Hate the Prequels aside,they look good on blu ray. I bought the OT blu ray set a while after they were released even though I said I would'nt and that was mostly because of IMO the sacrilege of Vader screaming "NO" in ROTJ. I won't elaborate more on that cause it's been done ad nauseum. I really just considered Harmy's work and Adywan's edits as the one's to go to If I ever want to throw in the OT to watch. To get to my point, I watched the blu ray "a new hope" the other night,well some of it,and I was so underwhelmed by the overall PQ. The movie seemed less alive and dim for some reason? I took it out and put in Harmy's Despecialized version,be it V.1,V.2 ,,,whatever,cause to me his work always seems excellent. Right for the moment "STAR WARS" appeared and receded into the starfield,I knew I was again back in that big theater from 1977 watching what would become the cinematic loves of my life. The stars were brighter,the droids were shinier and Vader was darker. Thank you,Harmy ,sir...from the bottom of my heart.
