You guys have probably already seen this but I figured I should post here as well:

Totally understand that DeEd is now on hold. I love our fan restorations and DeEd in particular, but if this release is even half as good as it seems, fan restorations will become a lot more niche, if they continue to exist at all.
Things I’ll be keeping tabs on:
- Does this new release cover both the 77 and 81 versions of Star Wars, as well as the 70mm and 35mm cuts of Empire?
- Does this release feature original mono and surround audio mixes?
- Are international markets getting the same treat we are? Lots of dubs and subtitles have only ever existed for the Special Editions, and would need to be remade to properly support the original versions.
If every answer is “Yes”, we’re all out of a (non-paying) job! If there’s any “No” answers, there may be room for smaller-scale niche restorations.
