Just showed the DEed v2.5 at my house to a group of family and friends. There were five or six adults who aren't Star Wars fanatics, a few young adults (one of which has never seen Star Wars), and my 12 year-old niece who had never seen it either. The DEed was enjoyed by all, and I was totally amazed how utterly seamless everything looked. There was no point when I or anyone questioned anything about what we were seeing. It was indistinguishable from a proper HD release of the OUT. And the best part is that two of the viewers do not know that Darth Vader is Luke's father, and everyone else was prompted ahead of time to play along with Obi-Wan's lies for their benefit. 

Empire is next week, so we're all looking forward to it. Thanks to Harmy for making it truly possible to watch the original version without even thinking about it. 

I've seen something interesting going around on YouTube, where people film reactions to Darth Vader revealing himself as Luke's father.  Most of the reactions so far haven't been amazing (most of the kids have been a bit too young to easily grasp what is going on, or the people filming are being too obvious about it and prodding too much for a reaction), but I think there is a lot of possibility there (especially with the Emperor not spilling the beans early in Harmy's ESB).  If you can, perhaps keep this in mind and discretely record their reactions, it could be amusing.
