Agreed. Not only the quality varies widely from shot to shot though, the colours do too. I am too sensitive to sudden changes in colour during films to watch a release with colours constantly changing from shot to shot.

Really? The colors are the best thing about Harmy's releases if you ask me. I didn't notice any variation at all in SW 2.5 or ESB 2.0, at least nothing that took me out of the movies.

Though I can't fault Dark_Jedi's GOUT V3 in any way. It's a fantastic set.

I don't notice any color inconsistencies throughout Empire, or Jedi for that matter, but Star Wars 2.5 has drastically different colors from shot to shot at times, most noticeably in the cantina. It doesn't stop me from watching it, but it is there. I think it came from the color correction in 2.1 because if I remember right the v 2 colors looked pretty spot on with the colors you'd see on pre-2004 releases of the film. The 2.5 colors are infinitely better than what's currently available though.

As for the Despecialized Editions themselves, I'd say they're the highest quality OOT we can get until it's officially released. The only noticeably lesser quality shots are ones from the GOUT, which is to be expected.
