Also, not that we've really heard of staying on topic around these parts, but there is a separate thread for the despecialized versions of Star Wars, Empire, and Jedi.  Movie-specific questions can be posted there to get the best response.

But yeah, Vader's eyebrows are fuzzy because the highest-resolution version of them we had at the time was an old Laserdisc master, thus the fuzziness.  We have some 35mm elements now which should be worlds better in this regard.

Also, I don't know if this is still the case, but at least for a while, Harmy preferred problem reports to be sent via PM rather than posted in the discussion thread, so's not to "ruin the magic" for people (once you know about a bug, it's really hard to unsee it).  The ones I've mentioned are ones people have already mentioned in the thread, but there are others I've reported privately that are also pretty minor.

AntcuFaalb: the credits in 1.0 were from the GOUT, and were a dramatic loss in quality after a pretty consistently stunning presentation.  The reconstruction was, at the time, the only way to improve quality.  Now I believe Harmy has 35mm elements for the next version, so no worries.
