Having read about the LD restorations going on by some of our laserphiles, the "restore black" process has been in my head for this flick. But if MF still has the original edit without all of the recompression artifacts and original levels (assuming they exist in the re-edited form), then I was wondering how his source compared.
Let me say it again, because I haven't said it in a while: I positively love the prequels now, thanks to MF. I just kinda liked them before, but Episode I has truly become a great film to me. This was the movie I expected in 1999.
