I would have to agree with RebelScum and Rowman and that I too appreciate any effort put into restoring the OT. This is only my second post ever (signed up only a few days ago) but I have been a long time lurker. I, for one, usually skip the usernames of posters who are here just here to be negative and really have nothing to contribute.

I wanted to encourage MeBeJedi, Zion, and all the others that are doing transfers to keep up the great work. Most of us want the version that our generation has grown up loving (and yes, it does not include cartoon colors). Having worked at a movie theatre where my general manager owned the trilogy on film, the work that the people are doing here is a lot closer to what I use to watch with my popcorn and Diet Coke than those SE DVDs ever will be. BTW, I recently talk to Rob (the GM) and he says that ANH has not held up well over the 15 years (the last time I watched them) and his print is turning pink (he even stored it in the correct coniditions). However, ESB and ROTJ are still in great shape.

Much like MagnoliaFan has his version of the Star Wars universe (which I can't wait to watch all 6 to see how he tweaks it into his own story) and GL has his version of the Star Wars universe (which he has changed to make it almost cartoonish, among many other things, which is fine but I don't like it) and then there are the people that are here working on the LD transfers trying to preserve "our generations" star wars universe which, for me, really only includes the OT. Prequels, what prequels?? Certain users seem to miss this point (read the post about MagnoliaFan Edits to see what I mean) and assume that they know exactly how the star wars universe should be and if it doesn't match their perceptions (and they usually use GL perception) than it is wrong.

Anyways, I wanted to encourage all of you that are doing transfers, to keep at it and keep us posted. And lets take MeBeJedi advice and "Don't feed the trolls!!"
