Without trying to offer up any sympathy for Lucusfilm or Fox and obviously The aim and the ongoing petition is to get the original films released.
Is there perhaps a sense that even if they had to use multiple sources to actually restore the film and combine them it still would be almost like a slightly different version than a Original Master Negative.
I think what I am trying to say is, should there be a thought of consideration for what is being asked and perhaps an admission that if it is a very difficult task that at least an attempt at a restoration is better than nothing. even if it is not 100% accurate.
I know that might sound a bit weird but is anyone totally sure that they have all the original negatives and materials and so on?
