OK Harmy, two VERY important things. 

First, I'm assuming you're privy to all of this news surrounding JJ Abrams helming the next SW movie? Not sure how realistic this is but I would wholeheartedly nominate you to be an ambassador or technical consultant to him concerning true-to-1977 projections of SW, ESB & RotJ for his technical and STORY reference. I've actually worked for Bad Robot briefly (on a two-day shoot, haha) and apparently JJ's a cool guy (and IMHO did a fairly solid job injecting SW energy into Star Trek). I'm sure that with his means he could arrange a private screening of the original 35mm prints but most likely these'd have degraded too much, right? FOR GOD'S SAKE yours seem like the closest authentically (color/story/editing/effects) to the originals, which is ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL for developing the direction and story for succeeding Star Wars movies. The original trilogy was a revolution in cinema and sci-fi. There's no doubt that the sequel trilogy will make anywhere near of an impact, but it should push the envelop in similar ways for today that GOUT did for its era, whilst staying true to GOUT. I mean, am I right or...am I RIGHT? JJ should at least be aware of the existence of your despecialized editions.

Second, actually no where near as important. Is there a DVD-5 version of Return of the Jedi hosted anywhere? I can't seem to find it on the spleen or the paradox.
