Oh man! Star Wars is once again the film I saw in my imagination when I was 4 years old! Except now, it comes at me as an adult with all the grandeur and splendour my 4-year-old imagination envisioned all those decades ago! Ady', you've done me a great service. I was excited about the 1997 special edition, only to be horribly let down in two ways - the SE sucked and the original version was lost to home video - Now, I have the SE I always wanted! About five years ago, an Indiana Jones fan finally made the right hat from Raiders of the Lost Ark and started reproducing it for other fans who were constantly disappointed with the "official" Lucasfilm Indy hat. In much the same way, Adywan, a Star Wars fan, has done what no amount of ILMers or Lucas' misspent millions could do - reinvigorate the original Star Wars fan base!

I think November's "release" of this edit will be a very historic moment and one that might make more waves than any of us expect...

Ady', you've achieved great impossibilities and never once have you let us down. Simply amazing. I watched the TIE attack clip and the trailer again today - I got chills and, despite my manliness, teared up a little bit - Boyhood joy is a long-lost emotion now found again in your work. Thank you...Thank you...Thank you.
