Thank you so much for the preview. All of your work is greatly appreciated. Aside from issues already discussed, I think this is looking fantastic so far!

I have a weird kinda question though about something. At about 6 mins into the reel one preview of star wars, there's the shot of the storm troopers pursuing the rebel scum down the corridor in the Tantive into some smoke. At the end of the shot there's a storm trooper on the right side of the frame who fires 2 one handed shots into frame right. In the preview, I hear the shots, but I don't see them. I'm not sure why that is. Is it just my crappy monitor? I've noticed in some other projects there seem to be some extremely faded blaster bolts against a white background, so maybe it's just some sort of contrast issue?

I've seen these movies a million trillion times, but I'm too young to have seen these movies in the theater, and I've never seen the original theatricals on 35mm ever. I'm just wondering if maybe those blaster bolts were added at some point. They are in the GOUT, my laser disc, and every tape, I think, I had when I was a kid. Super curious about that.

Again, thank you for the preview and all the work. Whenever I see previews, stills or clips from these 35mm projects, I feel as though I've never actually seen these movies. :)
