But it doesn't top Star Wars in its theatrical form, and no fan edit ever really can. To consider such things is to wipe out the colossal cultural impact Star Wars had, unblemished, for 20 years. No fan edit should be able to do that.
Of course, no fan edit could ever top Star Wars in its theatrical release. As I had pointed out in another forum weeks ago, had it not been for the theatrical release of Star Wars, we wouldn't have any of the amazing fan-films or fan-edits, or even this website.
Hell we wouldn't have fan edits or this website if the special editions weren't the only way to watch a decent quality version of star wars. If they had just cleaned up the movie and maybe just maybe re-rotoscoped the sabers and blasters all would be well. I am puzzled as to why George doesn't want to release these masterpieces in higher quality than laserdisc. Hell he won't even release his beloved special editions on blu ray. 10 years ago I thought that George Lucas was a film and sound quality god. His films were this representation of the picture and audio quality on the planet. He used to grasp the latest technological achievements by the balls to make his films look just a tad better. Now Blu Ray has been out for what 4 years and he can't even release the god awful special editions or his horrible prequels on blu ray. It is a shame that many star wars fans get shit on every 5 years. 1080p is the standard today and the only way I can see the OUT is in 480p.

Seriously, my friend, don't get so over worked. Have faith that Lucasfilms will eventually release a High Definition version of all six films and with the option to view either enhanced or theatrical versions.
As the old saying goes, "good things come to those who can wait." I'm not saying to wait forever. I'm just saying, "Let's not hate. Instead, let's appreciate."
