Even though I'm only a casual fan of the Original Trilogy (I'm an anti-fan of the prequels, but I won't even approach that subject!), the whole concept of fan edits fascinates me. I've been reading through a lot of these threads, and it's making me more and more excited to see one of the incredible projects for myself. I just think it says a lot about Star Wars, and modern filmmaking that there is a community of people working hard, and for free, to preserve a classic film with its classic effects.
How can anyone knock or criticize what's going on here? Unlike the ka-ching ka-ching that drives most restoration projects, this is being done for the love. That's important. I feel lucky to have found this place! Ok, sorry for the OT post! Just wanted to bring the praise for a minute.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled awesomeness.
