I finally took a gander at the xvid. Adywan, your work on this edit is amazing. Congratulations on a job well done. I can't wait to show my friends what you've accomplished. I was especially tickled to see the hyperspace effect after the Falcon's escape from the Death Star because I first suggested that. At the time, it was only a suggestion about what I thought could be a cool fix to a continuity problem. I was prepared to not have it come to fruition because of technical limitations, and I was OK with that. The fact that you were giving the Special Edition the face lift that LucasFilm should have in '97 was enough for me. But when I saw it for real last evening, I was giddy because, well, it's like that is my contribution to your project. Seeing my username in the credits was icing on the cake! Thanx for going above and beyond. But enough about me...

The entire edit is a work of art. I love the tweaks, the fixes, the audio corrections, the cantina creatures, the DS schematics, the final battle, Chewie's medal, the lightsabers, and the new music edits. In short - I love it all! You have done an outstanding job, sir. I've got some ideas for ESB and ROTJ, but these will wait until such time as you're ready to begin. I now wait patiently for the NTSC DVD-9 to come my way for PIF purposes. I'll be happy to keep the chain going.

Best,

JD
