Mike: A big thanks for the excellent work you're doing on this preservation/restoration project. The quality of the source, combined with this meticulous artisan-level craftsmanship, is going to pay off big in the final result. :) May it one day see the full light of day, and in the mean time serve as an important source/reference.

As for Disney, they've already lost any credibility with Star Wars, but hopefully we'll at least get a good restoration of the original trilogy out of the whole mess. What should be done is a Lawrence of Arabia sort of restoration (the gold standard, and if you haven't seen it on Blu-ray yet, get it, simply fantastic, I wish every movie on Blu-ray looked that great :) ). Whether fans will get that is highly questionable, but we'll see.
