OK, Boris, I understand what you're saying and how you're feeling. The X0 is a preservationist's project and to be honest, according to your definition of preservation, they have already achieved that. The laserdisc caps of the DC and the SC have been preserved and will hopefully be available in the near future.

However, the team feels that some obvious technical flaws need addressed and wish to correct them. Matte lines, R2D2's colors in space, etc etc. Since special effects have gone through a digital renaissance in the past decade a lot of these compositing shots look bad and some people would like for them to be "fixed". We could philosophize ad naseum about whether or not we're any better than George Lucas for correcting old shots, but 1) create a new thread please, and 2) according to what's been said, there will be two versions of the X0 project: the direct to video raw caps of the laserdisc and a slightly restored version.

Now I don't see what your problem is? Yes, they're altering the film, but unlike George Lucas, they're offering the original version as well. So, we have both a "fan edit" - for lack of a better word - and a preservation of two versions of the laserdisc, and I honestly don't see what the problem is if they want to change a few things.
