Absolutely fantastic! I lurk here all the time and rarely chime in but that was killer cool! My son asks me every other day "any word on the Adywan Empire?" I haven't been this excited to see a Star Wars movie since 1980.

(My 1980 Empire story, not on topic I know, but it's been kinda slow in here until today lol. This is just a side note and only read if interested!)

I was 10 and my mother told me Empire was starting in theaters tomorrow and my cousin was coming to pick me up to see it at noon. I was so into Star Wars those past few years and finally I would get to see another adventure! I couldn't hardly fall asleep at all that night & as soon as I did wake up I quickly got dressed and went and stood in the yard, and it was only 10.00 am LOL!

Finally he came and picked me up. He took me to a theater a bit farther away then where we all usually went as he thought the lines would be smaller, he was wrong! The place was packed and the whole theater lobby was all Star Wars'ed up with all kinds of cool theater stands and displays that were awesome!

We got some snacks and made our way into the crowded as hell theater which was filled with people and their Star Wars infected kids. I have seen many movies since then, but NOTHING, even Return Of The Jedi ever compared to the enthusiasm and energy in that theater that day, the atmosphere was electric! Everyone was soo pumped to be there, from the youngest child to the oldest grandpa, everyone knew we were about to be a part of history. The opening Star Wars logo popped up on the screen with that old familiar theme and the place erupted with a cheer that was as loud as if the Beatles or Rolling Stones just hit the stage!

Im not going to go into the movie oohs and ahhhs, but another thing I never forgot happened at an odd moment. The theater was quiet when the movie started as everyone was totally engrossed into what we were seeing, until 1 moment... The very second R2D2 & C3P0 came into frame in the Hallway on Hoth the place erupted in applause again, 10 times louder then before! (not kidding, it was amazing!)

I went home that day so amazed with that movie, it was such an amazing experience that nothing I have seen since can even compare to. I made my mom take us again the next week so my brother could see it. Then, for months to come every week when my mom went to shop I made her drop me off at the theater by myself so I could see it again. I saw it 14 times lol

I thought that the excitement that these movies gave me back then was just a memory. I have bought every release they have made of these movies fro VHS to Blu. But of all these releases, even the 97 theatrical rereleases, these Adywan versions are THE ONLY thing that brought me back to being a kid again!

Ady you and everyone you have working on these are SOOOO appreciated by us loyal Star Wars fans. The time & effort you guys sink into these is above and beyond what anyone ever imagined someone could do outside of Skywalker Ranch. Thank you all SO much!

(ps: I like everything you did there, I dont care if you put dancing monkeys on the Vaders viewing screen, with everything else as bad ass as it was you have my approval!)
