I think a fair amount of people have sort of latched on to this project and expect it to be the 'ultimate' fan-created edition, the final say on the films until they are officially and legitimately restored.  It's important to remember that Star Wars is many things to many people, and that with so much variation in individual experiences and preferences, and considering the source materials available to work from, no single version is going to completely satisfy everyone.  Some people want more grain and less noise reduction.  Some people want their favourite audio mix to be included.  And some people want every single option and extra to be present all in one version.  But there must be some restraint of expectation, because otherwise dark_jedi's going to go crazy and still not everyone will be 100% happy.  So--to be reasonable, please!  :p

Specific technical questions about the video should be directed primarily to G-Force, since it is his AviSynth script processing that is being used.  There is a thread devoted to that topic already, though it is down on page 2 of the forum at the moment.  http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/GOUT-image-stabilization/topic/9038/

For my part, I'm happy to answer any questions about the audio.  Dunedain, I'm going to answer you and continue the 70mm discussion in its own thread also so I don't fill this one up too much--I do tend to go on at length sometimes.  lol

Edit--see here for the answer to Dunedain's questions about the 70mm mix compared to the SE: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Star-Wars-1977-70mm-sound-mix-recreation-stereo-and-51-versions-now-available/post/421106/#TopicPost421106
