Don't let 'em get you down, Ady. (And if anything I contributed came off as bashing, I sincerely apologize.) Yours is unquestionably the ultimate version of ANH. Sure, there's always going to be commentary, there are always going to be those who would respectfully suggest different approaches, and there will be a few who are not so respectful. But at the end of the day, you need to be happy with it. Anyone who threatens to make you unhappy with it... tune 'em out. There's more than enough kudos going around to drown out the few party poopers.

As for the flipper thing... I hereby pledge never to mention it again. Everything that needs to be said about it (and then some) has been said. Whatever you decide to go with is the way it should be.

As for ESB & ROTJ... forget about it. You've had your head so deep in this for so long, it's best for you (and for any SW projects you take on in the future) to just step away from it. If your enthusiasm level revives in time, and you feel like taking on ESB, that's great. And if not, that's fine too. It's not worth doing if you can't relax and have fun with it.
