I watched the first film a few weeks ago, to make up for the fact that I didn’t get to see it in a theatre in September like I thought I would, but I’m not going to watch the others, or do anything else that would involve thinking of TFA as being anything other than some new movie.

I have, however, been passing out copies of the Despecialized Editions in DVD form to everyone I know who is interested. Several of these people have never seen the originals, and others have not seen them for many years, and I believe this discrepancy must be rectified. I use my 70mm tracks for the audio, but in stereo form rather than 5.1 since no one I know has a 5.1 setup except me, and the 2.0 versions sound better on stereo systems. Everyone I’ve given them to has been extremely grateful, and they’ve all agreed that the originals are superior.
