Negative1, no offense, but why would you buy a 35mm print of a film, then go to all the trouble and expense of transferring/restoring it, when you think it's merely "average"?

Do you really think The Empire Strikes Back is an average film?

well, to me it was 'average' for the series, it didn't really grip me the like the 1st and episode 3 did...

also, remember , i only saw it one time in the theater, and once more for the SE version, and i've

watched the orignal OT version on laserdisc about 5 times in the last decade or so............so i shouldn't

really be the one to come to COMPLETE opinion of how good/bad it is.....

TRUST me, if i had prepared myself properly, we would be here talking about the 16mm version of STAR WARS,

i'm still kicking myself over that one....................i pray that some day, i find another copy, or a 35mm version of that...

basically, the ESB print is insurance, so that we will/might have a bargaining chip someday that could come in handy

to procure that..................but as it turned out, we practically stole this copy, since the 16mm print went for twice

as much as i paid....

later
