Info Wanted: What is the best Fan preservation of the Original Star Wars available?
Time

For me Harmy's blows everything else out of the water. While it is reconstruction, meaning it's not frame for frame the original celluloid, the PQ difference between it and other preservations is staggering and makes for a vastly superior viewing experience. If you're more interested in a pure transfer of the original film, Team Blu's work is very solid, but when watching Harmy's, nothing every stuck out to me as clearly manipulated or recomposited.

Info Wanted: Your 'go to' versions of the PT
Time

I like L8wrtr's best overall, although I wouldn't necessarily call them definitive.

HAL's are a bit more lenient on pacing and a bit less aggressive with cutting.

I personally still like Kerr's episode III the best although it's only available as a SD DVD.

Q2's I would only try if you want the OT "secrets" preserved although that's never interested me. 

Seciors Episode I is interesting (I haven't watched it front to back but it does some bold things), his Episode II doesn't really work for me at all however.

I guess my post couldn't be last forever...  AntuFaalb, I'm impressed you actually haven't seen any of the SE versions this whole time.  Still, the '97 SE isn't as consistently irksome as watching what they did from '04 and on.

Harmy, if you don't get the scenes you wanted from that iTunes book, are 35mm scans of Jedi becoming available instead?  I have no idea how far along -1 is.

As of now, I have no 35mm footage for Jedi and the way it looks, I don't expect to for the near future, so it seems that v2.0 will be using the same sources as v1.0 and the improvement will mostly be only in the over-all picture quality.

 :( That's unfortunate. Has Team Blu provided you with anything? I just hope that the lapti nek scene doesn't stick out like a sore thumb in the next version.
