I'm really excited to see what Harmy does with Jedi once Empire is finished. His work on Jedi is probably more impressive than the work on both Star Wars and Empire simply because of how much Jedi was mangled by the SE's. It was so great to see the original Jabba's palace dance scene again, even though sadly the only way to make the scene look better at this point is to get some kind of film source since every SE release has not included any of the original musical scene. The sarlac pit was incredible too, I honestly couldn't tell that the SE beak thing was edited out at all. Honestly I'd go so far as to say that if someone gave me a disc with the Despecialized Editions on it, and they told me that it was an official blu ray release of the OUT, I'd believe them: that's how good they look. Really the only noticeable part in the whole trilogy was Sebastian Shaw's eyebrows and his greyish skin color instead of the color it was in the theatrical version (which is an incredibly small complaint). I'm assuming he had to take the eyebrows from the GOUT and add them to the Special Edition, which given those circumstances it looked pretty good. I'd take slightly odd looking eyebrows over no eyebrows at all :)
