Just watched this on an 1080p Epson projector on a 110" screen. What can I say?!?? Absolutely stunning! It's remarkable the difference to a film that colour timing can make. Finally this looks like a film made in 1977, the film I fell in love with in a cinema in 1980! Had so many goosebump moments it'd be futile to list them here! Really couldn't see the joins/seems where old footage was reinserted - was way too busy being swept up in a galaxy far, far away to care! That in itself should indicate what a superlative job Harmy has done here! I can now completely enjoy & be immersed in this film once again, without mentally tensing for the next change, whether to the soundtrack, the additions, the colouring etc etc etc. The film felt organic again, and of its era. LOVED the colour-timing. The film grain. Spot on. Still the occasional black crush but that's the bluray source for you. It still looks utterly fantastic. I just want to fire up the projector and watch it right through again frankly. Even my folks who rarely notice such things commented on how 'film-like' & 'punchy' it looked! I've made them sit through this way too many times over the decades, but this time around they were saying they could see things never seen before, and it felt like watching the film again for the very first time. I utterly agree!

THANKS Harmy - you've done a wonderful thing by bringing this film back the way it was, back in 1977. I'm sure this release will go down (officially or unofficially) in Star Wars history - along with the year 2012 - as being of great importance, along with -1s impending 35mm release too.

What a year to be an OT Star Wars fan! Life is good ;)
