No oot on Blu means death of new petition?

Does keeping it up and getting more signatures change Lucas mind before next year, i doubt it.  I don't even want to hope for it because i would again be disappointed when the release comes out and no oot.

There's still over a year to go before this is released - a lot can happen in that time...

I was ready to throw in the towel earlier today, but reading through all the threads made me realise we can still keep on trying, and there's little to be gained by giving up. Even if we just get a "they WILL come out, but not with this set" from George would be something.

The set comes out in the fall next year, so there's tons of time before the discs goto the authoring stages. We can still get media coverage over this thing in the meantime...

I don't see any reason he couldn't skip the OOT this time around and then suddenly decide to do it the following year.  Yay, more double dipping!

I already own Star Wars several times on VHS.

I already own Star Wars several times on Laserdisk.

I already own Star Wars several times on DVD.

Next year I'll own Star Wars for the first of several times on Blu-ray!

Your brain just makes s**t up!

That is quite obviously a double dip. He's already backing up on the "these versions don't exist anymore" stand and now it's supposedly just too expensive to restore them, so I totally expect a double dip, only this time around he can't give us non anamorphic 93 masters, it's Blu-Ray. So he'll probably say that it will depend on how well the SE Blu-Rays sell and if they sell well enough, then he's gonna remaster the OOT for the money he makes on the SE...

Lucas: I am altering the film. Pray I don't alter it any further.

Fans: This film is getting worse all the time!

... so we should definitely not stop trying.

George Lucas STAR WARS on bluray isn’t worth a piss anymore!

Only the originals from the 70mm six-track Dolby stereo Dolby format 42 will sound better on DVD/Bluray.

Should we just give up now?

I mean there is not a shred of hope Lucas will ever release the originals ever again in any format, much less in good quality.

I will have to settle for the V3 of the Gout from DJ, i refuse to ever watch the 2004 set ever again.

Some parts of the 2004 star wars and empire are not too bad, the colors are screwed up the lightsabers and the sound.  But Jedi is hideous it has Hayden and jar jar in it.  I can only watch the 1997 gkar if i am forced to watch a special edition of that movie.

I'm still hoping for another Blu-ray release of the OT with the originals.

As ridiculous as it, I can kind of see the Lucas logic in not including them in a "saga" box set. If he put the OOT in he'd basically have nothing left to sell more Blu-ray editions.

I really don't see it. I think the current Bluray releases will be a hit and I'd even bet half the people boycotting this release will eventually get it anyway. If George is excited about all his changes then he probably has no intention of going back for any amount of money.
