And some of the battle's Adywan has had to face:
-getting ripped off by the post office on numerous ocassions.
-health issues
-computer issues (power supply, monitor)
-getting ripped off by Gateway
-the challenge of getting good wampa fur
-hot weather affecting the plaster
-car crash
-unplanned apartment "remodelling"
-project helpers going AWOL
-migranes and temporary blindness(!)

When you see it like that, the man really has had a lot to go through. Most people would either simply give up or postpone work indefinitely, and go crazy. The man is quite simply a hero for sticking at it and practically saving Star Wars for many of us who were offended by George Lucas' Special Editions and thought we'd never enjoy the Star Wars movies properly again. He really is the saviour of Star Wars.

I think it's also important to congratulate the people who have helped Ady through this ordeal too, as no doubt support really does give energy and insipiration.

I have been observing this thread since the beginning (I wasn't a registered member at the time) and have seen this project go through the motions and it quite simply astounds me here we are with it still going and we have a release date which is december 2010.

Amazing. :-)
