I've just watched this. I'm glad that you did this instead of me - you thought of a million things I didn't know, didn't have, or would never have thought of. I was constantly impressed. Sometimes awed. Constantly wishing I'd had that Super 8 audio when I was doing my Classic Edition cut. I would have included a lot of it in my version - while watching I found myself seriously considering revisiting my ESB classic audio and redoing it.

I have a large amount of issues with this film, though ... I found myself taking notes while watching it on what had been done wrong. I suppose it's no surprise that I should have strong opinions - I was going to do this one myself, of course, and my thoughts are left over. You've made some crucial errors at crucial moments.

You had offered me a pre-release copy at one point, and I REALLY wish you'd let me see it before showing it to anyone else, as I could have helped you out with a few areas that you had trouble with. During Deleted Magic, I was constantly conferring with Mark Sluggo Johnson, who came up with a million things I never would have.

I believe this is a brilliant production, and with some easy fine tuning could have been perfection. I can list my thoughts, but I should ask this question first - is it still possible to make changes to the film? Do you still have the files on your hard drive? Can you retrieve them from backup? Anything?
