First thing is i'm not assuming any fix or an enhancement by LFL would be a good thing -- I've not implied that anywhere in my statement. I gave an example of the fixes and enhancements I was talking about that I would like to see. Appearently people want the flawed version you included -- which is fine for you.

Secondly again you're trying to imply something I never said. By "Truely enhanced" I meant digital cleanup of the elements, and making sure it looks it's best, grain removal, color enhancement and such. And then appropriate garbagemattes and mattelines "fixed" So maybe i'm using the two words interchangably, that doesn't detract from what I want.

Where do you get the idea that I believe LFL will give my my "perfect" version? Did I say that? Of course I did not so you're implying yet again.

The reason i'm not 'whining' is because I believe i'll get what I want, where did I say that? Did I say that? Again no. the whining I was referring to is fans writing in letters complaining for the originals -- I did however sign the petition like everyone else here, so I did a certain amount. But really I haven't 'whined' to LFL about the "perfect" version I want.

As far as saying I am whining, I simply stated my opinion in my last message. In fact I haven't posted to the forums all that much at least not in comparison to most people here.

It seems you were trying to put words into my mouth.

Simply stated I want a perfect version of the original "vision" -- And I know I won't get that for a fact.

I will probably see if I can make my perfect version myself based off the dvd's assuming I can rip them.

Now you are putting words into the mouths of those not speaking, as well as mine. There are many levels and types of "fixes". You apparently believe that a "fix" by LFL would automatically be a good thing. I, on the other hand, have come to dislike Lucas' examples of what he considers to be a "fix".

"Maybe i'm the only one that wants a "truely" enhanced version, but then again I don't whine alot so maybe that's the problem ;-)"

Correction. You apparently believe that a "fix" implies an "enhancement". The problem here is, you believe this "perfect" version that you apparently have in mind is what Lucas will end up giving you, fixes and all. I'd rather he leave it alone, especially since I am in a position to make extraordinary improvements to video.

The reason you aren't "whining" is because you think you are going to get what you want. I can only imagine how you'll react should his "fixes" not be acceptable to you. Time will tell.

"The only things I don't like are complete scenes replaced by cg rather than cg enhancements. Or new cantina aliens verses the old ones. The falcon escaping Mos Eisely through the roof instead of "out the back" like in the original. These are the things that urk me. But matte lines should be removed, double exposed elements should be fixed to look opaque, garbage mattes should be removed, etc..."

Correction: You are whining.
