Guys,

I've now seen Episode II twice (McClurg 3 in Chicago) and both versions of the film.

I thought something looked weird in the digital version.

My opinion of the film, however, has gone up after seeing it a second time. It was better than I thought. Some of the city shots of Coruscant are truly amazing and I still get a kick out of Jango Fett.

The one scene that made me crazy was the Yoda/Dooku lightsabre duel, especially when Yoda is bouncing around the set blocking and attacking Dooku. How crappy did that look?

I watched Empire earlier in the week and man did that film kick I and IIs behinds. Even with the campy dialogue and larger than life sets, it was so much better and easier to believe.

The DVD should be interesting.
