When I heard the movies were going to be rereleased in the theatres, I was hoping they fixed everything that was a problem from either a production, or state of the art in 77 (that is removing all garbage mattes, matte lines, jump cuts, messed up saber shots, etc)... I wasn't expecting any extra computer graphics, but merely the exact original trilogy but just as though it were being made today. I read some people arguing about preservation or not. I don't care about physical preservation of all the flaws that were in the originals, but I do care about presveration via drama. That is, a cg dewback in the background on tatooine is ok because the animatronic they had didn't work in 77.... This isn't something that changes the pacing or drama in anyway (other than maybe drawing your eye to it if you're an fx nut)... So this x0 project is very interesting for that. Of course before you do any alterations having a pristine copy of your source material is a good idea. (And pristine is subjective here as we're talking about laserdiscs)...

just my 2c

Keep up the good work
