To be honest, my signing up here has nothing to do with which version is better and what the fans prefer. What I want to understand is the history of the restoration of the Original Trilogy, what was used for the 2004 Boxset, and if he actually does have pristine prints of the Theatrical Versions.

If this place isn't the place to find out the ins and outs of those questions, then I'll leave. But, it just seemed to me that this is the place that would have the best info possible on understanding this entire situation and the history of it.
