What Cobra Kai said.

I’ll only add that next year will be seven years since the blu-rays first debuted, just as that was seven years after the dvd, which was seven years after the '97 SE.

If an official OOT restoration ever happens, I wouldn’t expect it until after Episode IX, which means I’m definitely not expecting it next year. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if we finally start hearing some solid news after seven years of the same old blu-rays.

That theory just popped back into my brain again, about how LFL could always give us what we want on regular blu-ray in the short term (even if that means Fox getting a cut of the sales on all six movies), only for us to go through this all over again with 4k in a few years.

We’ll see.

Hmmmm…

The Star Wars 7-8 year itch:

BluRay 7 years after DVD.
DVD seven years after 1997 SE’s.
1997se’s Eight years after 1st ever widescreen releases(on laserdisc in USA).
Widescreen Eight years after 1st ever home release on VHS.
