I have one question. You may have covered this already, but aren’t the prints you are using missing some frames? I know the SSE was. Are you going to just use the frames you have or add them back so this will sync with the GOUT soundtracks. And if you add them back what source are you going to use?

Also, my 2 cents on the DNR is don’t worry about it. I think you should stick with making this as faithful to the original negative as possible, warts and all. Give us grain, give us the yellow spots in the Tatooine shots, give us the badly grained speeder shot in Mos Eisley. Give us what Mike Verta isn’t. He has taken it back beyond the original negative to what came through the camera lens. I prefer something more faithful to what was released in 1977.
