Thank the makers !

And by that I mean MeBeJedi and zion ... and Laserman making his own set too ?

This is like Christmas time for us Star Wars geeks! I must say the latest screen shots of both versions look just absolutely *fantastic* I can't wait to see, hear, experience the final results!

I have one wish, though, and I do hope that you take it into serious consideration:

The DVD-Rs you are making really should be made dual-layer.

I mean, you have put an enormous amount of time and sweat into these projects ... and dual-layer DVD-Rs are just a couple of months off. Making a single-layer DVD-R version now would really make you feel bad after a few months when dual-layers are everywhere and you keep asking yourself: "Why, oh why didn't I take advantage of the extra 4+ gigs when I could have... ?" --- What you are creating is invaluable for us "original" Star Wars fans and I do think it deserves the most perfect treatment it can (dual-layer format).

I have understood that most standalone DVD players do not like the DVD+R format (they prefer DVD-R). Well, DVD+R9 is the only dual-layer format available so far, and most players do not play it. However, there is a way to burn onto DVD+R9 and "bit set" (or something?) the disc so that it really "looks" like a DVD-R (or DVD-ROM?) to the standalone DVD player so it plays fine. DVD-R version of the dual layer format should be here soon enough though Please correct me if I'm wrong but this is how I've understood things.

Anyway, your work is greatly appreciated and I wish you the best of luck in the quest of making a perfect original edition set of this gem of a movie saga

Bottom line: dual layer times are so near it would be too near-sighted to make single-layer versions now.
