I've always liked Return of the Jedi, but the story always felt a little flat and tensionless. Plus the special editions put some stuff that worked and didn't work. Like changing the band in Jabba's palace and putting Hayden Christensen in the movie is ridiculous, but changing that stupid song "Yub Nub" or "Ewok Celebration" or whatever, with "Victory Celebration" and adding the Galaxy Celebration is great (aside from "Wee'sa free!"). Neither the Theatrical Cut/Harmy's Despecialized Edition nor the Special Edition were perfect for me. Then, I found Q2's hybrid cut.

The M4V quality was great, the audio was great, and it put Lapti Nek and old Anakin to the movie! For lots of hardcore fans of ROTJ, that's amazing.

For now, this is my go-to ROTJ. ADigitalMan has the same concept but this is better, I haven't seen the Dan edit and the Spence makes no sense at times.
