Thank you sooo much for all your time and effort in making this possible. After watching this today, I really feel that I have experienced Star Wars circa 1977.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm really glad that people are enjoying it.  It was a good year's worth of work.

Interestingly, I have to say that, while I understand people seeing it as a trip back to 1977, it really isn't that for me.  My memory of 1977 was seeing it in pristine glory, without any blemishes.  I won't transport back to 1977 until SW is properly restored from a 70mm high quality print, like we saw back then in the theaters when it first came out.

When I watch something like the SE, there are moments when I feel like I'm back in 1977 experiencing that sparkling brilliance again... then Han steps on Jabba's tail and it's "aw crap!", back to tragic reality.
