Hear hear,

I would say ditto to you Darth P.  That is EXACTLY how I feel about all of this: watching ANH:R made me realize that ONE MAN and ONE PC can do the impossible, which is pretty much the feeling I got when I first watched STAR WARS at 7 in 1977.  Before, it was obvious models with wires and stop-motion critters.. and while it was all good and cool, you could still tell it wasn't quite real. 

STAR WARS blew that notion out of the water in the first 2 minutes and after that Star Destroyer went overhead there was no nitpicking or seat squirming.. it was like what everyone is saying AVATAR will do to your eyeballs over at AICN.  If my eyes could have smoked a cigarette after watching SW, they would have.

And again, you grow older and more cynical, if for no other reason than you just know what to look for - the wires, the matte lines, the zippers.  Even if it is unintentional, after you see THE WIZARD OF OZ for the first time, the next time you KNOW what's behind the curtain.

Yeah, after watching ANH:R multiple times and being on my 6th or 7th time, the magic is a little worn off.. there are still little niggles here and there, but damn if the Falcon escape and the Last Battle don't make me feel like 7 all over again no matter how many times I see it.  And one guy did that.  On one home PC.

Because of ANH:R I want to see if I can do the same to those movies that I feel could use the spicing up or had a major impact on me... and I know that it can be done.  In my house on my PC.  I may have to ask or beg others for help, I may have to spend 2 to 4 years cracking my brain to figure out what Ady already has, but the bottom line is he has proven it CAN be done, which is where the bulk of the praise comes in.

Forget that this is the definitive version of STAR WARS or whatever.. ONE MAN did this for FREE.   Jesus Christ on a tap dancing pogo stick, is there really anything to complain about, being that he did the work and provides us the movie FOR FREE?!?!
