I can’t decide on whether I should download the Despecialized Edition of A New Hope, or the Team Negative 1 restoration. Which is better to any of you?
I’ll chime in and say that while TN1’s version is very cool, and certainly important from a preservation standpoint, Despecialized is more enjoyable to me for a casual viewing because of its lack of grain and weave. Basically, I’ll echo the sentiment that Despecialized is more like what the Blu-Rays should have been, while TN1’s version is a preservation of a theater print of the movie, warts and all.
