You're joking about going to see this opening night and the $4,000 stills coffin thing right? I find it hard to believe you really eat all this stuff up hook line and sinker. I think you are just trying to impress on us what a devout fan you are.

no,

i'm not joking....why would i do that?

to impress anyone? no...because that would be pointless..

i could care less if anyone thinks otherwise....

this board has opened my eyes to all the star wars versions out there (8mm, mono, vhs , HD rips etc),

ALL for free..........along with all the other cool stuff.........scripts to convert the laserdisc rips,

image enhancing algorithms................i've started mapping out the original star wars FRAME-BY-FRAME

(see the technical thread), i've watched the first 27000 frames a few times now...

i'm a long lost star wars fan, that is finally finding out about all this stuff NOW....i finally have a great job that

lets me buy ANYTHING i want, including the 35mm version of ESB (if you check the fan restoration thread), i almost

got the 16mm version of star wars too,...... i'm old enough and financially stable enough to get any/every version

of star wars that is out there........is there something wrong with that?

i thought people around here actually liked 'star wars'.......i could be wrong though..

obviously it seems like i am outnumbered by the super hardcore fans here that have

watched the movies hundreds of times, and have been collecting, reading, writing,

editting, and everything else star wars related..................................i've seen the original

trilogy less than 10 times in the last 2 decades............i'm hungry for more.. i'm probably

one of the most casual fans on this board...................

star wars influenced a 10 year old child, over 3 decades ago,

and now i find myself at a point in my life, where i want some way to find that feeling again...

why shouldn't i be excited???????????

later
