I saw this yesterday at its Canadian premiere and hung out with the director, producer and some distributor reps until the wee hours of the morning at a few pubs. Great guys, and Alexandre introduced me to a sold-out audience during the intro before the film as well, which was flattering.

This is a terrific, terrific--HILARIOUS--film. OT.com will be proud--I guarantee it. These guys are one of us. OT.com gets a lot of coverage, as do fan edits, and Jay is in the film. The movie is divided into chapters and a whole chapter is devoted to the OOT preservation issue and the SE nonesense. They have Lucas' "I'm concerned with preserving our heritage" quotes, the National Film Registry issue, the 2006 GOUT debacle, the stupid Lyn Hale "all the prints are gone" e-mail, they have the Blade Runner 5-disk set example, and when they showed the clip of Hayden in ROTJ to demonstrate how absurd the SE was the whole theatre groaned! During the Q and A after the screening, Alexandre talked at length about what a travesty it is to have lost the original versions of the film, and I gave a talk to him and some people after about the particulars of the negative surviving (an issue the film brings up is whether the negative survives as Lucas say it doesn't--which is a language trick!).

I hope everyone see this when it comes to DVD. The guys at TF.N will probably not like it. This is the documentary OT.com would make--thank Christ someone's doing it!
