I am ready for the trials!Not destroyed, not by a long shot. The original negative is conformed to the special edition edit and may no longer be viable as the basis for a restoration unless the pieces that got altered/replaced were in fact put into storage back in '96. Even if they were, I'm pretty sure the optical shots had completely faded beyond repair by the mid-90's because of the unstable film-stock used to composite them (they were thrown out and re-composited digitally), so they would need a second-generation source anyway.
For this and other reasons, it might make more sense to simply use an interpositive or the separation masters and use that as a starting point for an OOT restoration. Even then, it would still take a little thing called "time" and some "effort," both of which would require something called "money" to be spent. That's all George really meant.

"Take Me To Your Cinema"The money excuse is bullsh*t. Whatever it cost they would make back on the first day of release into theatres.

No. Just no. For the love of all things good and holy. NO.

I am ready for the trials!Well, they probably have a copy of some of Ed Wood's movies too. ;)
I would imagine the Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago would have a copy of the HS in their archives as well.

I have accidentally misread it as Museum of Broadcast Communists.

Jedi KnightI refuse to believe that they can't. Won't? Sure. Don't want to commit the time and effort, and more importantly the money? Hell yes. But can't? With the resources they have? I doubt it.

If it annoys Lucas, I'm all for it.

TV's Frink got me into the dark side of the force!Doesn't Carrie Fisher allegedly own a DVD quality version of the Holiday Special in exchange for her participation with the DVD extras??? So assuming she's kept it stored well that's an easy copy to port over to Blu-ray/DVD for sell should Lucasfilm choose to do so. That is if their master copy got in bad shape for whatever reason.

See You, Space Cowboy...^Well she's gone on record saying that she has a copy she obtained for some movie night marathon-type deal she did with some friends. I don't recall if she got it from George himself, though.

Ointment FlyI can imagine she has a copy. I seriously doubt she asked for one as compensation, got paid with one, or that she was paid with one by Lucas.

yavasizadooFingers crossed. I was looking for some hopeful news like this today. I've been getting pretty discouraged about this lately. :-/ Sometimes it seems like they're just slipping away, and it's very depressing to me.
For what it's worth, my 2 remaining uploads of GOUT clips on YouTube (I removed the other 2 clips due to YouTube/Google threats of general nastiness) have garnered close to 2 million hits:

Keepin' 'em out there, anyway.

^ Some of the comments under your clips are unbelievable. Makes you just want to weep at the lack of knowlege and understanding some people have. Well done for putting these guys right.

Oy, don't remind me. I still have a bad taste in my mouth from the time years ago when I got into an argument for using the term "personal canon".

I am ready for the trials!Or what about TFN (the force.net)? They will permanently ban you if you even mention the OUT or have the slightest dislike of the prequels and/or the special editions.
Sounding like a broken record since May 2006.

I was only there one day, but it was pretty good. Unfortunately the "important" panels (Kathleen Kennedy, Carrie Fisher) were pretty much scripted. Other panels (Ben Burtt, Doug Chiang) were open for audience questions (and really informative - especially Burtt showing some of his private Super8 films from the making of the movies, including going through the landfill behind Elstree, where he showed stuff like the trashed Falcon and even stumbling across a wall from The Well of Souls).
The bigger ones just took "Twitter questions", so you can imagine that those only consisted of stuff like "What's your favourite film?" or "What does your typical day look like?"
