I got this from the Spleen (now seeding) and jumped around a bit. I'd like to say it was to check the picture and sound quality, but I really was just watching my favorite parts.

It looks fantastic, though, more solid than the AVCHD 2.1 edition, which looked great in the first place. I know I sound like a scratched record because I keep saying this, but it's true: this looks like film, and those Blu-rays do not.

hh's revised 5.1 track has a few moments where it definitely seemed more discrete (e.g. Han and Leia's conversation in the Falcon cockpit after the dogfight). Unfortunately, i's early morning here, so I can't pump up the volume the way I'd want to to do this any justice. I do like the isolated score track too 

One question for Harmy: you have said that the BD version will have more lossless options since all of the special features are being moved to a separate disc (an idea I like very much). Does that mean the 85 and 93 mixes will be…? Forgive me if you've already answered this, I scrolled back several pages looking and didn't see if you had.

I'm looking forward to sitting down and watching the whole thing, but with work and my friend's wedding this weekend (I'm in the party), it may be some time before I have the chance. But once I have the chance, I'll be able to watch Star Wars the way I want to.

Thanks to everybody involved.
