The people here probably know more about his movies and their evolution than he does... and WE can't agree what is original, what should be fixed, what shouldn't, etc. We bicker and release dozens of different projects each subtly different.
Do you put out a WIP edit? The first theatrical release? Which crawl do you use? Which of the numerous audio edits? Which lines of dialog that have come and gone belong or don't? Does deleted scenes count as original? What color should the sabers be? What was the real original color scheme? Did some idiot doing the color timing screw up in the first place? Should glaring sfx flaws be tweaked or are they part of the "charm"? If you tweak the sfx how far do you go?
Really, I don't envy him, because no matter what this DVD looks like he'll get shit for it.
I also suspect that maybe he and/or his people have been following us or other SW sites trying to find out what (the majority of) people really want before sinking money into a restoration project of any sort.
He really can't win on this, and my hat is off to him for even trying.
