Long time watcher. Huge fan of this effort as well as Harmy’s Despecialized editons. I was so excited to watch this version of Star Wars and it did not disappoint.

It was a treat. There’s moments I forgot from the film and matte line elements that popped up reminding me of the hard work special effects artists did to rush this movie into theaters in 1977. Their work was not erased thanks to this effort!

And I was surprised how much detail still existed here from a multi generation print (from the ocn). I expected soft and a fair amount of grain but some of the ship shots looked indistinguishable from the blu-ray.

I cannot believe the work everyone has gone through to restore the original Star Wars. Congratulations! You’ve outdone the GOUT and made this the next go to reference for preservation projects. Congratulations! And thank you so much!
