Roger that. Last time.

Anyway, I don’t remember seeing Matte lines on my version.

“Should” they recomp the elements? Probably not.

Oh, they certainly should if they have the separate elements! It’s just that they should recomp faithfully, as Harmy has. Not “meh whatever” as LFL has.

If you’re watching despecialized, they’re there. Painstakingly restored.

Peyton Reed, director of Ant Man, tweeted this yesterday.

"Dear Lucasfilm,

Please release a Blu-ray of the original, unmessed-with version of STAR WARS I loved when I was 13.

Thanks,

Peyton"

Was browsing the web-site of what was formerly Lowry Digital.

It has been acquired by several companies over the years.

Anyways…RelianceMediaWorks is the company that owns Lowry now.

They claim they have done a 4K restoration on the Star wars trilogy.

Then click on Restoration.

Why is the end of the OP written in BASIC?

He’s worked for Disney too. Won’t mean anything in the long run, or the short run for that matter, but it was nice of him to articulate what we’ve all been saying for many years.

Oh boy, take another look at Reeds Twitter comment … especially what that self-proclaimed ‘huge nerd’ Rae Ivywood has to say.

Rogue One is redundant. Just play the first mission of DARK FORCES.

He still does work for Disney. 😉

I wonder what brought this on. Maybe he wanted to show the OUT to his kids and then realized he couldn’t?

Rian Johnson also tweeted this in January of 2011:

Granted, this was long before he was hired for Episode VIII.

The only replies still showing up for me are from 2015.

They have no reason to keep waiting past May of 2020.

I’m not going to hold my breath until then, but the situation with Fox is very obviously the reason it hasn’t happened just yet.

I wonder how many times people, in this thread, have said one of the following things:

  • This is obviously the reason it hasn’t been released!
  • This is the reason it will be/won’t be released!
  • It’s obviously going to be released in [insert year here]!
  • But [insert name of person here] said so!

Perhaps this could become a drinking game.

It’s fun to think that a grassroots Twitter campaign could get the OOT could get more attention. It won’t happen, but it’s fun to imagine.

Well, I think that hoping for it before 2020 is a fool’s errand. IF it’s happening, I think we have to buckle down and accept that’s the absolute earliest, if it’s happening at all.

Like I said, I would love to know what possessed Peyton Reed to tweet this out.

It’s probably the closest anyone has come to “rocking the boat” in regards to the OOT whilst still being employed by Disney post-2012.

The reason why it is not happening is because, next to any of the new stuff they make, OOT release is profit-wise basically nothing. In fact, all it would do is steal the attention from their new stuff.

No. That makes literally no sense.

Reissuing Beauty and the Beast on Blu Ray doesn’t steal attention from the live action remake.

What SilverWook said.

Also, as I’ve pointed out, 2020 may very well end up being Lucasfilm’s hiatus year from new Star Wars movies. It would only make sense considering Episode IX hits theaters the very end of 2019, and they’ll be busy enough as it is with Indy 5 hitting theaters July of 2020.

They can’t release anything at the end of 2020 without bumping up against Avatar 2 box office-wise. The only time to release the Obi-Wan movie would be May, and that seems awkward to me when the saga will have just ended that December and they already have Guardians vol 3 scheduled for 2020, presumably for that first weekend in May.

Of course, I say that as the Han Solo movie is scheduled for just three weeks after an Avengers movie, but still.

Does anyone in the world actually care about the Avatar sequel? The opinions of everyone I know range from “huh?” To “meh.”
