Just got around to watching this and downloaded the DVD version. What can I say what has not been said before….it was awesome, no wait someone did say that before!
It is a fan edit but done so professionally it in my opinion looks better than the 2004 DVDS, the 2011 blu ray will be hard pressed to surpass this in terms of picture quality and sound.
The colour are so bright especially the lightsabers which have been done to perfection.
Love the tie in with Episode III when Vader and Obi-Wan fight.
All the new CGI shots of the Death Star are great too, love the end fight and how that was edited.
Some may say it is still a special edition version and as such not a restoration of the original, but to me it is so much more. It is like getting the original film, remastering it, adding scenes and improving on scenes, not adding scenes for the sake of it. (something Lucas IMO needs to look at doing) and making a great improved version of A New Hope.
