Hello, Mike.
First of all, I have the utmost respect for what you're doing with the movie. It's amazing to see someone go into such ridiculous detail. You're probably the best hope we got when it comes to (maybe... one day) getting Star Wars looking as best it could possibly look, especially given your connections with Lucasfilm etc. Considering the time and effort (and expertise) you put into it I hope the end product is gonna satisfy at least yourself.
I've got a few questions.
On a scale of one to ten, how good would you say are the chances of your work ever to be seen publicly, of us seeing Legacy?
Also, assuming that Disney/Lucasfilm gets a hold of your work, pays you for it, and wants to release it... what exactly would they be selling it AS? From what I've gathered it's not exactly your goal to get "Legacy" as close as possible to the original version as released in 1977. Now I'm perfectly confident that whatever version you're turning out will be the best-looking version ever (and I myself couldn't care less about a longer or shorter corridor for example), but Disney sure couldn't sell it as the OUT that people are expecting.
Do you see it as a best-of-both-worlds version or is it more of a "Look what I can do with what I got, now do it better" situation? Apologies if you already addressed this. You've said that you're doing this mostly for yourself, but in the more recent posts it sounds like you're hoping to get in contact with Lucasfilm, so I'm curious as to what the marketing possibilities might be.
On a slightly unrelated note, would you happen to have seen the "Frames" books that were released a while ago? I don't own them myself so I'd be interested to know your take on the shots included. As much as I'd hope for them to be reference, I'm curious whether the coloring could be as off as it is on the Blu-ray. Oh well, it's an entirely different medium, so I suppose the shots were enhanced to look good on paper.
