- I agree with you DanielB - THIS IS NOT a Preservation BUT a SPECIAL EDITION regardless of what Mverta says he's added to the film by adding these new colors on the Tantive and creating an ALL NEW starscape.



I think as far as the colors and starfield goes, he's restoring the color balance on the Tantive's red markings and starfields that were present in the laserdiscs but changed for the 2004 DVDs. But other things Mverta is doing (such as re-rotoscoping the lightsabers during the training remote sequence and erasing matte lines during the tractor beam sequence) would definately make his version a different "special edition."
