EDIT: Some of my words are being misconstrued as an insult and that was NOT my intent in any way shape or form, so i have edited them below. Edited comments are underlined.

I really feel battles need to picked and chosen carefully. The matted in eyebrows are very distracting. That's one change we can just let slide. It's not a big deal, but becomes a bigger deal with them matted in

Certain other oddities about these are kind of perplexing. Why not show R2D2 with his true blue sections during the finale in Episode IV? Reverting to black is kind of silly (that is my own personal opinion). That is one issue about the original effects where they were forced to go black for R2 because of blue screen. Showing the true blue would be fine with me. It's not a horrid CGI change or some stupid creature matted in. It's a flaw that has been fixed. I don't object to those at all. 

That being said, I bow down to the expertise it took to pull these off. 

I'm finally burning all three of these to DVD DL and will show my nieces (ages 10 and 12) each film, one per Saturday... And it is their first time. They have yet to see a single STAR WARS film and know nothing about them. 

Not even who Luke's dad is. So I'm pumped. 

For the record, I for one would like Star Wars 2.5 as a 50GB Blu-Ray. Or even a 25GB Blu-Ray. Either would be a huge improvement of heavily compressed 720p (which still looks fantastic, so don't get me wrong). 

Last thing... Why not leave PCM as is? I just don't buy into compressing it down. 16 bit LPCM cannot be beat and should be left completely alone.
