I'm not trying to be a smart ass or anything but are fixes to bloopers like this one part of the XO project? It is very cool to read all of the problems with the master that are being cleaned up, but stuff like the rear window is not really a "problem" with the master. The greatest thing about this XO project is that it will probably result in the single greatest transfer of the OTC, and I highly doubt that anyone in the future will put as much effort into a transfer as you guys have. Once you star fixing "bloopers" though, you just have another altered SE version. Maybe I am a purist, but fixing mattes and correcting blotches and contrast is a whole different thing than painting out windows etc. Once the line is crossed from restoration to subjective changes for continuity etc., it seems that the transfer would really lose alot of its appeal. Darth Vader's Tie fighter has a window and Han shoots first, same thing.
