After anonymously reading the forum the last few weeks I finally decided to create an account and applaud you for the effort in bringing Star Wars back to the fans in hi def.  I read that ESB is already preserved, is there another site or index where we can follow the progress, if any, involved in that film?

Can you call this a preservation?  I think this is great but a real preservation needs to be made.  I guess we will not see that until Mr. Lucas passes away though.

Taking a photo right off the film with the lcd light sounds smart.  It would probably avoid losing quality over projecting the film onto ground glass like a real optical printer would.  This should produce some interesting results but nothing like a real preservation.  Especially since the source materials have to be a mess.  This is a slight step above the 16mm work being done.
