It's good to hear that the picture of the O-OT is looking great.

I just picked these up myself and have yet to sit down with them.

It's so nice to be able to have both versions of the films on DVD.

Personally, I'll take pixar over unconvincing rod puppets any day of the week.

But now he has released the O-OT, so we can both be happy.

I think the SE's, while not perfect, are heads and shoulders above and beyond the quality of the O-OT.

1) Jedi Rocks is cheesey, but so much easier to believe than the older "rod puppet" Sy Snootles could have ever hoped to have been, and more hot alien chicks seals the deal for me.

2) I don't see a problem with Jabba saying "Han My Bookie" multiple times if he wants to.

3) I think it's funny that Han steps on Jabba's tail, and the new Jabba used for the 04 version looks even better than the '97 version.

4) Luke's saber on the falcon always had a green tint to it, it's just the amazing picture transfer found on the 2004 SE makes it stand out more.

5) The new Emperor scene in Empire is entirely better than the old one, dialogue, performance, everything about it is better now.

6) I don't see any reason why Tattoine shoulnd't celebrate the return of democracy to the galaxy.

7) I much prefer the new ending music. It feels more like a whole Galaxy celebrating instead of just the Ewoks.

Sure it's not perfect. But I say it's still closer to perfect than they ever were before.
