Thank you williarob for being open and transparent. Thank you to the silent member who offered to help back up and let the facts be presented for all to see. Thanks to neg1 for being willing to take the heat to help save star wars properly.
The facts have been presented for all to see? All I see is a he said / he said situation. Presumably Jay has seen more, but we certainly have not. We’ve seen Mike say one thing and williarob say something else. Nothing more.
If Mike comes out and says he made a mistake, that’s a different story, but that hasn’t happened yet.
But don’t you see? My Story and Mike’s Story are exactly the same. I haven’t denied anything he said as being false or untrue. In fact I’m pretty sure I confirmed that everything he said is true. Mike believed that we had both scans, including the one he paid for, and that doesn’t make his statement untrue, that is what he believed, but as it turns out he was able to contact person #2 before they sent the second scan so we never received it. Go back and re-read Mike’s version of events, and then mine. They are the same story, but from different ends.
So then no one did anything wrong. The Team -1 Account shouldn’t have been shut down and the Technicolor project should continue. If it is true that the Team was axed completely based on Mike’s incorrect perception on the scans being used, that totally sucks.
You said you guys pulled the plug on the project for “the greater good,” but ceasing the project using the scan Mike did not pay for and you were given complete permission to use is not in any way, shape, or form for the greater good of the community. For Mike’s greater good perhaps, but for no one else. I for one (and I think many would feel the same way) would love to see the release based on it. The Silver Screen edition was superb. I love forum drama as much as the next guy, but to sacrifice what would be one of the most valuable tangible releases of all time, for the community as a whole, because of it is fucking bananas.
