But it also is likely to have some noticeable film grain, color fading issues, problems on the borders, scratches, inferior sound, uneven lighting, poor blacks and whites, and who knows what other imperfections.

i for one, actually WANT to see/hear all this....

the best part of the 8mm versions i just recently watched from the
transfers, was hearing the projector sound, seeing the grain/noise/dust/etc..

if i want to (i know most of you DONT) i can always watch the one of
several 720p/1080p conversions of the SE (which i DONT mind)...
for clear pictures/sound/effects/etc........to me that is almost starting
to get boring....

i'm much more interested in all the 'low-fi' versions because
1) i've never owned a vcr (started collecting with laserdisc)
2) never had access to bootlegs [until now]
3) never had 8mm or 16mm versions
4) never listened to the vinyl versions
5) i've only watched the original SW EP IV less than 20 times

so most of this stuff still seems 'new' and 'fresh' to me regardless
of the condition......

i'm not sure what anyone else expects.....but just getting a projector
to watch it, would be part of the fun for me...

later
