Hi! I was 6 when Star Wars premiered in 1977 and have been a life-long fan ever since. I lived in Denver when the triple-bill happened and my father pulled me out of school to stand all day in line outside what was then the Commonwealth Continental theater. The excitement of seeing all three in one sitting more than made up for the impatience I felt while awaiting entrance to the theater.

I’m here because, while I understand that George wanted to improve on his art, it always irritated me that he pretended that the GOUTs “no longer existed” and could not be made available any more. It always just smelled like bullshit to me. So discovering Harmy’s incredible work way back when and then this place, was such a breath of fresh air and now I’m hooked on so-called fan edits and preservation efforts!
