Thanks Zion for discussing this civilly. However some points remain, and I shall get to them shortly. The first thing I will do is restate the argument of changes from theatrical to 1993.

Firstly, all were made from original material. None of the material was digitally tampered with. The one exception to this is the title crawl on ANH which was replaced with something new. However since it was replaced BEFORE the entire trilogy was complete and shown theatrically I'm willing to forgive this.

Zion, here it is. If you're saying I can't ask you to release your restoration unaltered - then it is hypercritical of you to ask Lucas to do so. I don't care what you say. If Lucas owned a Picasso (yes, I'm going to keep using Picasso) and refused to release prints of it - how do you think the art community would react to you and MebeJedi editing your prints of the painting and then distributing it? What you are saying is equivalent to "it always bothered me that Picasso only half drew the guy on the left, and that in the entire image he's the only one where Picasso didn't paint neatly into the lines - so that's all I fixed"?

Please see sense.
