I don't mind playing/being the lunatic. But i'm also not interested in demanding anything. Sure if I was running this site, my petition would now be asking for the raw digital scans done for the SE. My interest in SW right now is to see a really phucked up degraded celluloid mess:
"Star Wars : The Ravages of Time Edition"
But i'm also of the opinion that the fans will preserve SW in the way society wants. So if LFL can give the public the raw resources, the public will finish the preserving. *nudge nudge wink wink*
The above little story was more to see the true colors of KenKraly2007. It was a thought exercise.
Harmy cont: I actually believe that if there were two different versions during the original theatrical run, the most true original is the one that was most widely seen.
The seeking of the true original is the spiritual zen thing right now for these forums. But with 3 audio's confirmed and possibly 2 visual versions....
At least with the audio there's some concrete proof leading back to the theaters equipment that day. To figure out on the visual side something similar we need to look at the pieces we've been allowed access to and draw conclusions. We just randomly started looking at the credits lately, and haven't really done a thorough review.

I'm sorry if these kind of observances add new wrinkles to these debates/projects.

Thanks, need to go through the credits more closely. Was hoping that there would have been published somewhere a more or less same credit listing (centered sim spacing) and that would either have or not have this space. The Program scans (pg18) are reformatted. Need to do more poking around. Looked at the Art of SW (1979) and the JW credit is closer to the Special Edition version as the words 'Original Music' appears on the first line, they appear in the second line pre-SE.
*EDIT*
will start a thread in the Theatricals vs SE forum tomorrow, been clogging up multiple thread seeing if more eyeballs might provide an answer.
