Even with such a good sound system, most people wouldn't notice the problem, and since Jimbo here really doesn't want to, it sounds good to him. Well, at least he's pleased with the DVDs.
Oh, and Jimbo, I owe you an apologise, I remember clearly how you insisted that the insafmous AICN screenshot showing Hayden as Anakin on ROTJ was real, and I insisted it was not. I remember that 4 or 5 months ago I was absolutely sure that no more changes would be made on the trilogy, and you were sure that there were going to be some more changes. Well, I was wrong, and you were right. Now I know GL can still surprise me with his asshole ways...

Jimbo, the whole apology thing was merely an ironic joke on the whole thing. I owe you nothing, I did not offend you in any way, and truly I don't need to apologise to you for anything. I'll avoid being slightly sarcastic from now on.

Which is not very often.

I saw TPM 10 times in the theater. Not once did anybody boo.
In fact, the first four times I saw it everybody cheered wildly. The rest of the times there were applause.
And do I really need to remind you that TPM took in more money than ESB and ROTJ?

I mean, no one could really LOVE these crap-fest 2004 versions so much, and continually think up new and increasingly illlogical reasons for the changes. Everything's perfect in Lucas La La Land for this guy, which is bizarre, unless Georgie Porgy is paying his salary.
Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Hey Jimbo, I love digital effects as well, and when used appropriately (like in Fellowship of the Ring) it makes it possible to see the unfilmable.
My problem with the horrific SE and 2004 SSE versions is not the digital effects, but the jarring impact that adding FX-laden story portions of these 1977-83 films. It just doesn't look right in terms of consistency, anymore than significant facial surgery looks good on an 80-year old woman. You take one look, cringe, and think "whoa, something's not right here".
Not to mention that updating JUST the digital FX to the OT is the LEAST of my worries, as it is the ham-fisted "let's re-do the story" crap that is truly offending. If George wanted Greedo to shoot first, he would have done it in Star Wars. It's not like he didn't write or direct the fucking movie. Then we have the stupidity of showing the Wampa over and over and over, thereby bleeding the scene of its original suspense, along with the uttery lame "Hayden Ghost", and a ton of other amateur changes that a first-year film student would reject.
You like updated visual FX, and I have no huge problem with it either, but don't be a moron and try and pass the SE and 2004 SSE versions as just "updated FX', as the changes are far more intrusive than just that.

What we need are the theatrical versions for the true fans of the Original Trilogy.
