I think Jedi is pretty important to preserve considering how butchered the film was with all the special editions. It was my favourite of the three as a child but now I think I like them all just the same.

 I share this opinion, I do not like Jedi any less than New Hope or Empire. In some ways it is my favorite, in others it is not. I always feel like watching all 3 together and feel weird if I only watch one at a time.

I think it would be weirder for me to watch all 3 together. Sounds like a mess ;)

 But only half as much of a mess as this.

 Holy shit.

Still assembling a new preview version of Jedi. We have a new work drive, you can see we are using 2 of the versions here:

 The whole film? If so, that's very exciting.

edit: Also, is the preview going to be the best of both prints, or just the first one available? 

As mentioned earlier, there are 2 full prints and 2 reels:

And, yes, we will be collaborating with other OT members to get Jedi done.

 Oh, right. So when you said preview, did you mean the preview discussed earlier for internal use only? Was becoming hopeful to watch a rough preview of VI sometime before VII came out. :P

As for the cooperation with other OT members, I wonder if this is what Harmy mentioned as not doing redundant work and/or things he can't yet discuss. Perhaps your two projects will converge more than previously thought?

About collobaration. Perhaps.

I just re-read this. Yes, I know that you have the whole film (*2.33). I was wondering if the preview would be the whole film.

 Sentence fragments.  Poetic.

 One of the most blaringly bad in your face obvious comps of the film. Hated seeing it on blu.

Why on Earth were you watching it on Blu-ray?

 I'm guessing because the official blu rays suck.

That's true... I'll keep watching Harmy, no matter how uncomfortable he gets.

I like to add support for this project! (and by support obviously I mean childish impatience)  This is actually my favourite of the three, for admittedly not very good reasons.  The clips and screenshots look incredible.  If this could be the next release I don't think you'd hear many complaints, but I totally understand SW is your priority.  It seems like you don't plan a Grindhouse because the prints are better than ESB.  Sounds fair, although, just having watched the ESB grindhouse I would be very excited to see Jedi unstabilized and with scratchy reel changeovers - The imperfections in the print go a long way to recreating a theatrical feel and aren't in the least bit distracting- it's what we miss about going to a cinema right?

Anyway, please don't mistake impatience for ingratitude.  It's a phenomenal project and we all owe you a pint! - I'm very happy that I've just seen Empire in its best state since the 80's (with the exception of Harmy's excellent edit!)

If I can help by commenting on samples I will- BTW Vimeo with a password would be nicer than DailyMotion - if it's just as easy for you, and the rest of the forum agree.

Thanks for the awesome work!

I watch a life-sized Harmy-doll I've made.  That way it won't make him feel uncomfortable at all.

 I think I saw you on HBO once.

No, it was an episode of Real Sex.

Although not the most sought after of the original trilogy, still holds a lot of sentimental value… i recall viewing this film for the first time with my father and uncle… great memories… the work you are doing is fantastic and i am patiently awaiting the completion of all three films. I was initially brought up on the prequels as they were the first that i was around for (unfortunately so) but i do believe nothing will come close to the theatrical releases.
