as an experiment, if we take some of the raw 1080p ESB test transfers, and give them to 10 different people, we'll end up with 10 different takes on the restoration of it.. i can provide a short sample of 1-2 minutes, and see what you come up with...

I think that is only when you muddle the term "restoration". [We] all have pretty much the exact same idea in mind of what restoration actually is.

It is the people who want changes that are on the slippery slope of never having what they truly want. They have to debate and question how far is too far. Is Adywan's project too far? Are the 97 SEs too far? Would the SE be too far if it was exactly the same minus the added camp?

It's true, it's a very slippery slope to say that you want something other than a "restoration." Once you ask for "restoration+plus" you open the door/slope to almost anything.

My point perhaps should have been expressed more like this: If we got something like that (recomposit using original elements (no new windows) for some scenes (i.e. Snow speeder interiors on Hoth, rancor scenes with Luke)), it would satisfy me. I think it would be in the realm of "close enough". And I think that if we didn't accept it graciously, we'd be marginalized, even more than we currently are, as whiners and malcontents.

Let's move back to a concrete example- Ady's ESB Reconstructed. Only looks and plays like the original. Benefits from some recomp, etc. If that were officially released, would you be happy?
