Well, keep in mind, I come from a non-Funimation perspective, so I'm generally seeing this stuff differently than those who have mostly watched DB in English, and most of my focus is on the original Japanese.

There's absolutely truth to the George Lucas comparison, I think. And it's especially obvious if you started out watching the dub of Z they did with Saban, and then go watch the UUE dub later. Or for those in the UK, they grew up watching the Ocean Group dubs on Toonami, and Manga snaps up the license, what comes out on DVD is Funi's uncut dub... It's all maddening, really, there's so many different versions it'll drive you crazy. And I'm not even getting in to the so-called "Big Green" dub, or the Malaysian dub...Philippine dub...
