Well one thing Big Lucas can't screw up or tinker with.. Timothy Zahns' 3 books :) Yes I did like them.
Edit:Misspelled Zahn
Ah ouff... seemed to have worked. Got the ISO now to test it in my Media Player. Got nervous there for a moment. Now all I need is to get it to play. I thought the ISO was DVD ready.. guess not
Edit (to avoid too many posts in a row)

I still can't get over the fact that the Jedi uniforms in the prequels are what Obi-wan wears in A New Hope because its what Obi-wan wears, but no one noticed that everyone on Tattooine wears the same clothes and it wouldn't make sense for a Jedi in hiding to dress like a Jedi.
Your observation is quite correct.

He must be great to have around as a creative consultant, he is the guy who created this universe in the first place, so he is the one you're turning to whenever you have any questions regarding what works and what is not in the SW-universe - he's the expert. You cannot do anything silly like putting jetpacks on Artoo for example, as it breaks the in-universe rules established by the previous films. Those sort of things.
LOL funny, the flying R2 sequence was what I had in mind when I posted my random thought.
Although I am happy (kinda) he will remain involved, as he is the official reference for anything Star Wars. Lucas, unfortunately, isn't the best when it comes to continuity. The flying R2 is a good example... The bad thing of prequels, is they open themselves to contradictions if they are not careful. And the prequels do introduce a few of them. Perhaps the new ones (Disney), will be more vigilant when it comes to this.
As for how much "input" he'll have? I'll bet a lot unfortunately.. Lets hope he doesn't conjure up something that goes against what is already established... because if he does that means another Special Edition box set to try and fix everything again...
"oh that sucked" was mine...

Star Wars: Episode VII will be directed by JJ Abrams, from a script by Little Miss Sunshine writer Michael Arndt. Lucas will serve as a creative consultant on the new films.
To quote Vader "NOOOOOOOO!"
:P

ROFL
Not this time it won't
(sorry going off topic)
No worries... wasn't trying be a d@#$ More or less a comment mixed into a question I guess.
Like I said, I can add another version.. I "almost" have every version right up until '04. The trick will be getting that past the wife.. mind tricks won't work on her (kinda why I married her).
But by that logic, one would need to purchase all the original reference materials no?
Guess I can get the Blu-Rays... pretty cheap anyway.. I guess.
Ah sorry, I missed understood then :)
Didn't purchase the Blu-Ray, I knew he had made changes and since I own many previous version (and didn't really like the prequels) I didn't bother getting it. Funny, just reading over the newest changes and quite happy I didn't get it.
Okie okie then.. I'll get Harmy's Empire & Jedi once Star Wars is done. Thanks again..
So hold off on ESB/ROTJ then...
Well I guess I can stick to those theatrical DVDs from '06. I really want to hear Vader say "Bring my shuttle" rather than "Oh shoot, well ok get me a cab please". Honestly the quality doesn't bother that much, but if I can get that in HD all the better.
Just happy I got to show my daughter the version I grew up with and saw in the theaters so many years ago.
Too bad we can't contribute (money wise I mean). From the multiple threads/replies I've read... Harmy needs more HDD space :)
Thanks for the reply ...
2.5 eh? (facpepalm) Guess I'll cross the slow-download bridge when I get there lol
And from what I've read Empire & Jedi are worth it correct?
Wow... can't wait to finish the download for this, and get my hands on the other 2 movies. Can't believe I just found out a few days ago about the original release back in '06? And now this project.. holy crud!
Well so far, by looking at the before/SE/after screenshot (all youtube link are dead) I'm impressed. Can't wait to see this version... should be nice.
So if I may, a quick question: Is Harmy's work done? Found some download links to a few versions, but with thread going into the 100 page count. Not always easy to follow.
So someone, please correct me if I'm wrong here:
Star Wars : v2.1
Empire: v1.0
Jedi: v1.0
Started downloading Star Wars, but would rather wait and see if the other 2 are "finished" if you see my meaning.
Later.. be good.
