Is this totally illegal though? I assumed that owning the source material enabled it to be legal on a viewer to viewer basis?

I'm more concerned for the project's sake than my own. And it is a point raised by Revisited originally.

You know what happens when you assume something don't you?

First, you don't "own" the source material. Just because you purchased the Blu-Ray doesn't mean that YOU own it. LucasFilm or whoever it says in the Copywrite notice is the one that owns it. It is "illegal" to break the encryption on the Blu-Ray and make a copy. It is illegal to distribute said copies...but you know what? I don't care and neither does LucasFilm apparently. So maybe you could just drop it and relax...but of course if some nervous nelly like yourself, who keeps posting about this problem all over the internet might bring undue attention to fan edits and then it would be a problem, wouldn't it?
