My basic understanding is that Jay Sylvester starting the site as a hosting site for a petition to release the original trilogy again. The petition quickly gained thousands of signatures and soon became a beacon of hope for the many fans of the OOT who thought they may have been suffering in silence for all these years but whose pain was really shared by many around the world. A discussion forum eventually opened which became a nesting ground for all the OOT fans who supported the petition, and a community of OOT fans, mostly home theater enthusiasts, blossomed, with the Fan Preservation/Edit forum the prime place for the sharing and knowledge of the ongoing LD transfer efforts.

In fact, the petition got to over 70,000 posts I believe. It was cool. This forum became a haven for anyone who loved the original versions of Star Wars. Everyone here is a lot a like, and we can all relate to each other, which makes this such a great community. It's a lot better than IMDb, where there's a dick on every thread...

As far as I remember, it all started with a comment from an interview with George Lucas in which he reiterated the OOT would technically not exist to him anymore and that the statement (for the last time on home video) back in '95 was in fact not a Lucasfilm marketing hoax. It was a pretty exciting time for me to see how many other people shared my preference of the original threatrical cuts (and back then I did not really think we'd see any kind of release anytime soon).

There's nothing wrong with disagreeing or liking the SEs. It's trolling that a problem. We need a new petition or something, by the way. Has Jay given up?
