At this point I don’t even care what happens officially anymore. Would I love for there to be an official, properly done restoration and release? Absolutely. But so long as Disney/Lucasfilm continue to ignore this little corner of the internet and let us do our thing, I’m good with that.
Bottom line is, I don’t care who saves these films so long as SOMEONE does it. And thank God we’ve got people with the knowhow, contacts, and resources to actually get it done! I wish I could contribute more than I have (and if I’m able, will hopefully do more in the future), but I’m so grateful for everyone who’s helped and especially people like poita and harmy who’ve spearheaded projects and done so much!
