Harmy's edition has set a bar, raised expectations, and brought the restoration community's efforts to attention in a way that hadn't been seen prior. He struggles, as we all do, with resources and technology, and this isn't a competition. To his point, I think attempting a restoration from released materials, versus scans of prints is an entirely different beast. But there have been no shortage of people who are deeply grateful for his edition, and rightfully so. I support everything about the sentiment behind its release, it's just too dangerous for me to do myself. But I think it should be quite clear by all the sharing that I'm doing now that I want Legacy to be seen, to be useful, either to an official restoration or other fan restoration as a guideline, and if it does indeed end up to be a faithful representation of the original film, then I want it to be shared. I trust in the crazy, unpredictable nature of things that one way or another this will come to pass.
