MBJ, while we're on the topic of preservism, you need to re-insert the "cigarette burns" in the upper right hand corner that signifies reel changes. After all, they were in the theatrical prints. And the clock-wipe countdown from eight seconds. That was most certainly seen in theaters in 1977. And, gawd, get rid of that hideous "Episode IV A NEW HOPE" garbage that was put onto the crawl. What is that all about? That wasn't there in '77. I mean, what is the point of calling it the original trilogy if it has any of these pointless fixes in it?

Now that I think back to when I saw it in theaters in its initial run, the reel broke during the scene when the Stormtroopers shot Leia . I think it is IMPERATIVE that you restore the visual of a burning film frame, followed by about five minutes of total silence. After all, that's how I saw the movie in theaters, so it MUST be how it's supposed to be.

Ouch! Somebody help me get my tongue out of my cheek here.
