4K restoration on Star Wars
Time

I know the lightsabers have been discussed here to no end but here's a comparison of the Cloud City duel scene. The sources are a YouTube video of the original release (sorry for the low quality) and the RMW demo reel.

I could be missing something but when the frames are compared they look almost identical.

Yes, but this is the eternal debate here - who should determine which changes to make and which not to? It's a matter of taste and there can be a million different altered version based on a million different opinions, whereas the original version is just that, the original version.

Point taken. I agree that the original is the best version, but if the SE is released again, hopefully the version which the most people are fine with is the one that is distributed

If this release does happen, I don't mind if they keep some of the enhanced visuals (Cloud City, new shots in the Battle of Yavin, etc) but remove the story-related changes (Jabba in the original movie, Greedo shooting first, Hayden Christensen in ROTJ).

just a note, if Jedi Rocks isn't removed, the entire thing would almost not be worth buying...

In the second duel clip, Vader's lightsaber looks pink in some shots,  rather than the red that it is in 1.0, although its still much better than the blu-ray. Was the coloring intentional?

also, on a kind of unrelated note, I just realized the worst part about episode 7: no fox fanfare to open the film anymore :(

I got ESB and RotJ working. Thanks to everyone here! I'd also like to share DVD labels i designed using the image from the case Harmy created. They use the same font as the cases and are quite simple, but personally, I like them. They are saved in a .png format and can be easily loaded into a Word template for printing.

Use JDownloader, force download and you can download like 20 files at the same time each at 300Kbps.

 I would, but I'm a mac person and I didn't see a mac installer. Either way, I'll just wait for v2 so I don't use more discs than I have to

 I'm a Mac person too and I can tell you cause I'm using it: There IS a Mac version for Jdownloader.

and now I realize that [after selecting 81 lines of text one by one to download the SW AVCHD]

i still might wait for v2 just because I don't have many discs left to burn it
