What are you talking about?

This is the first time in ages where we have several very high-quality preservation attempts going on at once.

There's Dark_Jedi's GOUT V3, which is shaping up to be the very best possible way to experience the 1977-1983 versions (first time EVERY audio mix will be available, and the first time the alien subtitles in ROTJ will be faithful to the theatrical subtitles).

Then there's Dark_Jedi's 1997 SE set, which will be the first time the 1997 SE has been widely available in acceptable quality on DVD (sourced from the broadcast versions, AND it'll include the 1997 5.1 mixes, AND it'll include faithful alien subtitles).

Then there's LeeThorogood's preservation of the PAL 1997 SE laserdiscs, which look damned good in their own right.

Then there's the more restoration-y "preservations," like Adywan's recent 1980 theatrical reconstruction of ESB (which is the BEST the theatrical cut of ESB will ever look, despite the one or two little, almost unnoticeable things left in from the SE's). I just watched that one last night. Amazing work.

Then there's Harmy's "Partly Despecialized Editions," inspired by Adywan's 1980 reconstruction, but in HD! That's right, the theatrical cuts (or something very close to them) ... IN HIGH DEFINITION!

So don't you dare tell me that "nobody comes here at all anymore," or "the Preservation community has all but been swallowed up by fan edits." That's a bunch of bullshit. In fact, I'd go so far as to say I've been seeing more preservations than fan edits here lately.
