Ah, I see. It would indeed be necessary to have a 1200ft.+ capacity, if that's how long these high quality 16mm reels of the Star Wars trilogy are. I certainly understand someone with such 16mm prints not wanting their reels cut to fit. I imagine it is difficult to find prints in nice shape. On the other hand, if any group of Star Wars fans can find such 16mm prints that could indeed be scanned, it would have to be at this center for appreciation of the unaltered original Star Wars trilogy.

When one considers that this would put the entire unaltered trilogy, in not just DVD res, but even full 1920x1080p on HD optical disks and then some, in the hands of fans for full preservation/restoration efforts, it's worth an awful lot to make it happen.
