Thanks for the pictures, that print is really something. Everything looks so "right" and matches the idealized version in my head, collected from vague, semi-accurate memories. The sunset scene, those big solid red lasers against the cell block wells (sorry adywan), the look of that great matte painting of the Falcon (that has since been replaced). Also I can't help wondering: if you're this guy who owns the print and you're going back to Britain, do you just put it in the overhead bin? It wouldn't fit, would it? Or it gets checked with the luggage? Jesus, that sounds nerve wracking. Unless the guy is flying on his own private plane, in which case he's just awesome.

 

You still have to check it in at customs.

Man, I sure hope he doesn't request the print get destroyed afterward.  I recall - was it Adywan? - someone mentioning a local theater having to hand over a print they showed for the 30th Anniversary.

I’ll give the print when you take it from my cold dead fingers.

Oh, July 21st has come and gone. Did it get a screening?

Oh, looks like I crapped out on an exclusive screening in the UK. sigh
