It begins!
Regular updates will follow as I watch the newly remastered and special fanboy-nostalgia-tweakin' version of the original Star Wars.
Update: First things first: Colour, sound and general look and feel of the transfer is fantastic. The movie hasn't looked this good since 1977. In fact the box says (c) 1977/1997/2004, so I guess it basically is a new movie in that respect.
Changes: Basically the 1997 SE version except more dodgy matte lines have been cleaned up, some colour correction on sabers and other things, and...yay! They replaced the dodgy CGI work on the Jabba with one that is the same as the TPM/ROTJ Jabba.
Best change ever!
So far, so good.
Next up, ESB!
Addendum: I'd forgotten how annoying I find C-3PO. He whines so much in this movie. He is *dare I say it* the Jar Jar of the Original Trilogy.
Only the fuzzy red-tinted glare of nostalgia makes me relax on him.
