I know that you have very eloquently stated that your intention is to preserve the 'experience' rather than the film as closely as it actually was when released, and I'm in agreeance with you up to a point there... there's those that seem to obsess about it far too much... I mean really, does it really matter if it says Episode IV or not at the begining of the crawl? How does that affect the actual movie... What I'm a little iffy about (don't get me wrong though, I'm very interested in your final version) is the 'fixing' of effects they didn't get right back then, like the speeder smudge under it, or the little jumps due to cuts for effects etc... I'm all for being able to still see those things as it was what was achievable THEN... from a film history point of view, being able to say to someone "See, see how great this film is, how amazing it really does look? And this was all done in 1976!" is surely of major worth for future generations of film buffs and students etc.? With the actual releases that Lucas provides it's a case of "See, see how good that bit... no, that bit there... no, not that bit... wait, ok this bit, and that over there, but not the windows there... all of that, well, minus the CG creature over there... that was done in 1976! Oh, wait... no... no, that was 'fixed up in 1997'"... it doesn't sit well.... Your version, while not having the CG etc (Well, actually it does now doesn't it... really, with the laser flash), does have 'clean ups' of original effects... not to their original versions, but better than original...

I think the problem comes in where people think I'm going insane and flame is shooting out of my eyesockets because I used a cussword. Which isn't so. I guarantee almost everyone here, in the course of their normal day, cusses at least 10 times.

Everything's fine. We're all adults, let's not try and babysit each other, pander and condescend like we need to be handled with kid gloves or something.

I think the original Alien DVD, form like 5 years ago, has the correct logo. But is anyone listening to me about the featurette on the bonus disc??? If not, whatever, just stick anything on that looks similar - the modern 2004 logo is too modern.

the starburst behind the title?? Make it initially WAY more intense, to where it very briefly whites out the whole screen--and as the white recedes back into space, have the "Empire Strikes Back" fade in, (not wipe in) in direct response to the light fading back behind the Star Wars logo. So the starburst basically looks like it's leaving the title behind in it's wake.
