I had my dad over this weekend and we were looking through my DVD collection for something to watch. We had it narrowed down to two movies and were about to make a choice when he noticed my stack of Star Wars DVDs.
"Why do you have so many Star Wars movies?"
"One of them is a fan edit, where a guy went through and fixed all of the mistakes and stuff."
"Can we watch that?!"
Now he hadn't seen the movie in a long time and maybe saw the 97SE once and never saw the DVD, but I think he really liked what he saw (he had to leave before it was over and didn't get to see the DS Attack).
It was nice to watch Star Wars with my dad again, because I remember when I was growing up he used to read the crawls to me even after I could read. I wanted to thank Adywan again for giving us a version of Star Wars we can watch and it be new again.
BTW, my wife commented (it was her second time watching ANHR) that she liked the electric needle: "i liked it. it made it NOT look like they glued a syringe to the bot." I agree with her. Maybe some tweaking (it looks like it appears a bit late in the shot since the needle is so small), but I still think you should keep it.
Also, I really watched the Kenobi Hut re-arrange this time, and I have to say that it makes so much sense in its scripted order that I don't think I can go back the way it was.
