but why doesn't this projection look like other projections we've seen? That looks like they just dropped the opacity on a Photoshop layer.
And the least they could've done is put Hayden in old man makeup. Or use an image of McGregor and the young Yoda puppet. Consistancy is all I ask for.

Agree whole-heartedly with you Aban. They aren't being consistent. The whole POINT of it is the rise, fall, and redemption of Annakin Skywalker - and the end of the ROTJ had that - him as an OLD MAN with the aid of his son. He may have turned back in ROTS but he 'died'/'became one with the force' etc. at the end of ROTJ.
And reguards the title, I've told two people - both unrelated and different - they both said after I told them "Revenge of the Sith" they said... "Revenge of the Nerds".

I agree....Christensen should've been aged via makeup.
The Emperor's hologram is waaaay too crisp, but, hey, he should have the very best holoprojector so...
Jabba still looks like shit: not even vaguely like there's a big sluggo alien there.
The awful Ewok song may well cause me to leave the theatre early- it's replacment with good music is the one redeeming feature of the current S.E.
It could be far worse though: I heard a rumor a while back that Hayden would be in makeup as helmet-less Vader for the "redemption" scene in RTOJ. Thankfully, that has not come to pass.

They did that, they'd HAVE to have Vader vaporise or transmogrify or discombobulate or whatever it's called. Given his wooden acting, it'd be the only way anyone could tell he was supposed to be dead.

Regarding the quality of some of the shots, according to an "insider" on theforce.net, the images from those links are rough and unfinished. ILM is supposedly going to put a great deal of effort into making the final shots fit with the original footage, unlike when they did the '97 special editions, which were basically "tests" for what could potentially be done with a project such as this.
I really wouldn't have any problem with this if the original versions were being released as well, but as it stands, I'm rather pissed at Lucas for trying to replace the films that shaped modern popular culture and have been beloved by fans for decades. Bleh.

Lest we forget, there is the thirtieth anniversary of the first film's release in 1977. I am thinking here that Mr. Lucas hasn't completed his revisions just yet. As he succintly put it, a film is never finished, just a thing in flux.

11. Show Amidala being artificially inseminated by C3P0. 10. Have Greedo's father shoot Han's father. 9. Have the Empire invade the planet of Erak on the pretext that they have weapons of mass destruction. 8. Anakin shouting at the end, "I'll get you, Obi Wan, if it's the last thing I do!" 7. Forgetting the whole plot and killing Anakin and Yoda. 6. Tell the actors and actresses that they were over-emoting during the last two movies, and they should act with less excitement. 5. End the movie with the Sith holding a large celebratory barbecue in the woods, with fireworks bursting overhead. 4. Cast John Stamos and Dave Coulier as Luke and Leia's Uncle Jesse and Uncle Joey 3. Have the actors make light sabre and blaster sound effects themselves 2. Have the incident that finally pushes Anakin over to the dark side, be the Jedi Council making fun of his new haircut 1. Entitle it Revenge of the Sith, and continue to write and direct it on his own.
