Finally got my chance to view one of these legendary fan edits. For the first time in quite a few years, I didn't feel somehow cheapened, guilty, shamed or just plain bothered by watching the Original Trilogy on DVD. Harmy, allow me to add my voice to the chorus of admirers who have proclaimed your Fan Edits as "Must See!"

I just turned 40 years old last summer and for over 30+ of those, Star Wars had always been around somewhere. However, the past dozen years or more have been quite demoralizing for the old guard of Star Wars fans, with the stunningly unsatisfying Special Editions becoming the "only true versions" of the OT, as well as the total rollercoaster ride of emotion following the announcement of and subsequent release of the prequels. I have to say, it's been a pretty sad state of affairs these past trying years trying to maintain my enthusiasm and support as a Star Wars fan.

Watching your Star Wars DeSpecialized version has changed all of that. You made me remember WHY these movies made such an impact on me and my generation. These movies mean something to so many people. This s**t is in my DNA. Seeing someone take their precious time out of their life to painstakingly, lovingly restore the Original Trilogy to its pristine, previous glory for future preservation leaves me speechless, without the words to adequately articulate my gratitude. You, Harmy, have embarked upon a Hero's Journey.

You are a star. We are not worthy.

For all of us fortysomething Force lovers, THANK YOU!
