If George did release a high quality OOT DVD, what is the worst that would happen?

That's something I want to know. If Lucas decided to release the OOT restored and in anamorphic widescreen on DVD (WITHOUT packaging them with the 2004 versions), what would be so terrible for George? The way he's releasing it now, the only people who will buy it will be diehard OOT fans. So what exactly could happen if he gave the films a proper release and millions of people bought them? Perhaps....

1. The fans would like the original versions better. Oh, the horror!
2. The OOT would expose a ton of flaws of the PT and upset the kids who grew up with the prequels.
3. Millions of people would demand their money back for the 2004 DVD's
4. Milions of people would discover that the OOT didn't need any tinkering and all the changes he made, only made things worse.
5. People will discover that Lucas had no original vision.
6. Hearing Vader say "bring my shuttle" will scare children and send them into fits of rage.
7. Young fans will prefer the puppets, actors in costumes, man made sets and realistic look of the OT and demand Lucas do a non cgi PT.
8. Fans will be angry that 23-29 year old films don't look like they were made in 2006.

Seriously, what terrible act could come of a proper OOT release?
George Lucas was seduced by the dark side. The OOT ceased to exist in his mind and became the Special Editions...." "They're more maching now than movies. Twisted and evil."

Yeah, #1 and #4 sound about right.

The worst that would happen is he'd say it would be the OT, but when people put the discs in and began watching they'ed actually contain the prequels. I could see that happening. Yeah.

Well, George Lucas says the theatrical releases are "dead" to him, and perhaps the knowledge that he was the murderer causes the films to haunt his dreams at night. Therefore, if the original versions were resurrected, they might become some horrible zombie that seeks to repay George for his crimes.

For me, the worst that could happen is that it would only be included as part of some $300 boxset that I don't need or want.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

At least it would be released, which, at this point, looks like a very, very remote possibility.

No doubt this is what will one day happen.

Casual fans would not pay $100 or $200 just for the OOT--but they would pay $30 for a half-assed laserdisk transfer! The die hards get roped into buying this as well, thinking it may be the last time the films are avaialble, all the while having their appetite for a proper release even more whetted. Once the casual fans have had as much money pumped out of them as can be, and the die hards as well, it is time to really stick it to the die hards by releasing that $199 mega box with exclusive copies of a restored OOT, the rest of the box being 15 disks of PT and SE copies and supplements, with a giant Jar Jar head for a box.

Remember, the Definitive laserdisc collection sold for $225-$250 when it was released. When you consider inflation, $300 wouldn't actually be that bad for all the movies on DVD.

My first VHS copy of Star Wars was $80.00 !!!

If it included a remastered OOT, I'd probably buy it, that's the sad part. I was hoping that that would happen with the 30th anniversary boxed set next year, but now I really doubt it. Besides, if it did come out in a boxed set, it would eventually come out by itself in a few years.

Best post ever.

Don't forget Droid and Ewoks cartoons as well as the two Ewok movies in both original and special editions, plus the Holiday Special now updated to Lucas' vision.

A version of the Holiday Special to suit George's current vision would be nothing but dead air!

Thanks for the compliments and laughs one and all. Of course we know George is going to do something like that in the future. Perhaps not to the extreme that my example implied, but he’ll come up with some $500 collector’s set and it will probably be the only way we can get the OT the way we want it. Shit if KISS can sell the Kiss Kasket for $4700.00 (which isn’t really all that expensive for a Casket) then I’m sure George can sell the REAL OT in a collector’s set for a few hundred bucks.

LOL! I DEFINITELY want to be buried in one of those!!! You're right- that's not very expensive for a casket.
