I never tied to get anyone to agree with me, I only defended my position on the issue and attempted to explain that position. You've put forward your position on the issue too explained it likewise. I thought that was how debates worked, unless I missed something?

I asked what everyone thought a restoration should entail and I got my answer. I just think that slavish restoration isn't always in a film's best interest actually. That's an opinion. I'm not trying to pretend its a fact.

And of course the technology to allow Orson Welles to shoot Citizen Kane in color certainly did exist in 1941 its just that he either didn't have the budget to do so, or even if he had, it could always have been an artistic decision.

And for the last time - I'd be over the moon if a 100% dictionary-definition restored version of the SW Trilogy was released.
