Hello everyone. I go by Snow. I wasn’t born yet when the first movie hit theatres (born in 78). Still, the magic of the original trilogy infected me since the age of 4. I was invited to come to the theatre to watch The Return of the Jedi, but hilariously my parents wouldn’t allow it. I still remember a literal truckload of excited adults and kids setting off to the only little theatre in town to see it.

None the less I occasionally got toys, stickers, books and other Star Wars knick knacks. Even up in Northern Alberta Canada, the trilogy had cemented itself in culture. Especially with us kids.

I’m an artist - I make silly cartoons, drawings, paintings, or whatever media might tickle my fancy. We are our own worst critics for sure. So, I can understand where Lucas is coming from, where he feels the trilogy was not his pure vision. In my opinion what he fails to realize is that he was talented, worked hard and had the privilege of making 3 incredible movies. If they weren’t that great, they would have not had the cult following that has stayed strong into its 5th decade.

The preservation of the original trilogy is very important because of its cultural significance.

I’m very glad there is a community of like minded fans who wish to preserve these films. The force is strong here. Let them never be lost.
