Although I'm dangerously close to establishing uber-geek markings, I couldn't help but share these fantastic comparison stills between the original Star Wars Episode V from 1980 and the digitally remastered version from 2004.Super Star Wars fans have been barking about the original versions for years - last week they were awarded with the first DVD release of the original unaltered versions. Thusly, StarWars.com recently posted a DETAILED 151 still frame analysis of the alterations between the theatrically released 1980 version and it's digitally remastered 2004 counterpart.
Be advised - one need not be a Star Wars junkie to appreciate the nuances of change between the two Episode V versions. By looking at all the still frame comparisons, it is easy to become enamored by the advances in digital compositing technology as well as appreciating how slick George and company completed the VFX way back when.
