You are correct though, the X0 Project will live on past just the laserdisc transfering of the Star Wars films. What we do next is still up in the air, and it certainly should be allowed to be discussed here.

Zion,
Thank you for the quick response. Yes, I think it would be wonderful to use the X0 you guys have access to to restore other lost films that are in need of restoration.....
However, maybe I wasn't clear in my questioning...what I really wanted clarification on was your statement, "We are going to do our absolute best to get ANH done by then. This thread may not be open to discussion anymore after that." That sounds like to me that the X0 releases of ESB and ROTJ would be left out and not finished....is that true? If the X0 ANH is finished as the official DVDs are released how could the other two movies in the triliogy be worked on and finished if this thread and the X0 project get locked down?
My apologies if I still haven't made my concerns clear enough yet.......getting my thoughts down in the written word is difficult for me sometimes....

Thanks in advance for your answer....
