They’ve owned Lucasfilm for 5 years. How long do you think it takes to greenlight and execute a film restoration and release exactly?
It’s amazeballs that some of you were carrying your pitchforks to George’s door after a couple years, but after 5 years you’re all card carrying Mouseketeers. Give me more sequel crap!
It’s called giving Disney the benefit of a doubt. If the 40th anniversary comes and goes without anything, the pitchforks will be dusted off. Although at this point, some projects around here are so good, we might not even need an official release anymore. It’s Disney’s loss if it comes to that, because we would like to give them all our moneys, as they say.
And there are at least two people on this forum who know a hell of lot more about film restoration and internal studio politics than you. 😉
