Did the prequels have boring visuals?

I really don't know. I suspect it has to do with the complex camera movements within shots (not possible in the OT), and perhaps even more to do with the heavy use of CGI characters and vehicles, and their flashy movements (really not possible in the OT).

I think I'll watch through the PT a little and see if that makes sense.

This is a really good point. Sometimes we complain about CG looking fake...and we are wrong. We're tricked by things we think can't be done without CG.

"The Twin Ion Engine (TIE) fighter was originally designed to be blue, but the blue screen technology of the time couldn't cope with a blue ship, so it was painted grey. As the technology improved through Episodes V and VI, the TIE fighters got a bit bluer."

Ooooh! So it was George Lucas's original intent that the TIE Fighters be blueish, and Adywan is just restoring that intent!

In the end, this will probably be a good thing, being that it will give me one more reason to learn After Effects and other programs so I can re-color correct the TIEs to grey.
That's the right idea. If you don't like a change, change it back.

 

Pretty soon we're going to need git for films.

Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD - V2.7 - MKV (Released)

I completely understand the legal reasons preventing selling the despecialized films for PROFIT, but I'm wondering if anybody has taken it upon themselves to produce the Blu-Ray discs and print the cover art, and then sell them at ACTUAL COST plus LABOR.  If so, where could they be found?

Even though I understand what you mean and why this sounds more legal, any exchange of money for goods, even without profit, goes much too far into the realm of trouble. It's one thing for projects to solicit donations, as Adywan's Revisited has done, but actual exchange, even without profit, is too likely to attract legal attention.
