I’m watching this now. Ideally I would get my hands on a Blu Ray burner rather than running it to my TV from my laptop (the latter of which has difficulties playing 1080p video), and those damned reel change marks still irk me, but this is a truly breathtaking preservation.

Things that really stand out to me: high definition shots of certain models or optical composites (like the Tantive IV being overtaken by the Star Destroyer–previously it could only be seen as a digital composite in the official version or GOUT-sourced in Harmy’s. Now it’s in its full, high res glory).

I often play the Star Wars movies on my laptop at night to lull me to sleep. It will be nice to have a version so authentic.
