What sort of feedback are you looking for as far as things that can be 'missed'? 

Jedi is probably the least favorited by fans. But it's still loved, and the damage done to it by the Special Editions is by far the most profound, and this project is important for that reason. The changes to ANH are a bit 'in your face', but it was more about the spectacle and not completely altering the film. Empire SE was tasteful enough that I can sit through it and enjoy the whole thing. Jedi rocks and the Anakin ghost are just film-ruining changes.

As someone else recently said, I grew up with the pre-SE VHS and watched it more than either of the others. No matter how many times I watched it, the Sarlacc was just this immense, bizarre, slightly terrifying concept. And now it's a smooth digital beak thing that lives in a hole.
