So, I know it's been awhile since you last posted your work-in-progress "Introducing the Despecialized Edition", Harmy, but I do have some feedback on one thing that irks me.

When the narrator begins talking about the National Film Registry, he says, "But it was here that a problem would occur." This phrasing irks me, because it suggests that the main problem we have is that the NFR doesn't have an archival print. The problem occurred with the introduction of the 1997 SE, not the fact that the NFR doesn't have an archival print.

Why not just say, "The NFR does not have an archival print of the original 1977 Star Wars," or something to that effect? I like how you transition into the 1997 SE by saying that LucasFilm offered a '97 print, but I don't think you have to go deep into the legislation. Mostly, I don't think "But it was HERE that a problem would occur" accurately describes our predicament.

Thoughts?
