In any case, I can suppose it's perfectly possible for someone to be positive about the new movies and still prefer the pre-Special Editions... although I did go looking, and discovered that D. Trull was pretty positive (http://web.archive.org/web/20050131024610/www.lardbiscuit.com/lard/lardyawards2004.html) about the "original trilogy" DVDs. Perhaps Revenge of the Sith didn't sit so well with him over time, and that changed his opinions. I remember how his defence of The Phantom Menace contained an attack on Return of the Jedi, and if both "final episodes" have different focuses than he had been expecting, that might be something... Still, he may have just been annoyed that the "Vintage Editions" were fairly simple from a technical standpoint.
