I watched the edit this weekend as a refresher...
It was a fine cut, but I did not enjoy the content of this trilogy. It just wasn't very good in any way.
I also caved and watched the new trailer, which I was trying to avoid until the movie was released. It looks awesome! The style and characters look great from what I could see. I hope Luke comes in as either:
1) super overweight pilot
2) new Darth guy

The quality is somewhere between DVD and blu-ray though, so you have to leave your A/V snob at home for his one.
+Virtually no Jar Jar or Episode One
+Fairly tight story
+short compared to prequels, don't miss much important
+clone crap on water world totally gone
+no pod racing or kiddie Anakin
+good way to show non-superfans the rise of Vader
+ a lot of the gorgeous matt paintings are shown, still look great
-quality
-still has ham fisted writing
-some minor continuity due to removed content
-Anakin's rat-tail
-questionable scene choices early on, it gets better in hour 2.
+funny how the prequels look more dated than the originals, due to so much CGI looking phony now. A lot of it is just ugly. Sorry Yoda, you look more real as a puppet.
