Well, I’m not one of the people that dislikes the special editions, aside from a couple of things. I like the '04 changes (Ian as the Emperor in V, Hayden as Force Ghost) for their connectivity to the PT, so an HD set of the '04 versions without Vader’s pink Lightsaber would be tops. That’s actually the only color issue that’s unacceptable to me.

Adywan’s versions would be my be-all end-all versions of the trilogy, but he’s still working on those, so I seek stopgaps for when I want to watch an SE version. Harmy’s handled the OOT, I’m looking for an acceptable SE.

I mean, if no version like this exists it’s one thing. But given how many tinkered versions there are, I’m hoping it’s been done already and I can be directed to them.

I have been searching for the last day or two and cannot seem to find what I’m curious about: has anybody done a preservation of the 2004 Special Editions in HD, but color corrected? I know Schorman has, but the size is too unwieldy for me to download and I can’t find information for sure about how he has dealt with the horrid 2004 colors, if at all. From what I gather, he left the colors as they were.

The reason I ask is that I have Harmy’s Despecialized trilogy, and I want a Special Edition set to go with, but without the BD changes. I do have HD versions of the '04 SE, but with the crappy colors still. I want an SE without pink-saber-Vader, dammit!

Any direction to point me in?
