Kind of like what Lucas did to the work of Marquad, Kershner, Kurtz, and millions of craftsmen when he made the SEs, right before claiming that the originals "don't exist" and then releasing them with a substandard transfer? If he, a multibillion, can do it to the mainstream, what's wrong with fans sharing something with each other? I have the balls to make something of my own. Just not the money. I've never made or seen a fan edit, I'm just making a point.
According to Lucas, the original negatives of the O-OT were permanantley altered when he created the SE version, and all the prints they have left of the O-OT are in poor quality.

If I'm a dick for thinking that fanboys editing other people's work is revolting, then so be it.
And Go-mer, I see your point, but fan edits are the height of fanboy hubris... its no different than painting over someone else's canvas.
It's a cowardly attempt by a wannabe filmmaker to squeeze a drop of creativity into their own unimaginative lives. All while distorting the work of someone who actually had the balls to make something of their own.

There are numeours places, on this website and others, which prove that that statement is false. Even if it is true, there are still ways that the OOT could be restored. Lucas just won't let it happen.
