Why do I not believe Lucass about not releasing a HD DVD version? When the next gen HD-DVD players finally hit the market, you don't think he'll want to push the digital technology even further? I can believe him not releasing an "archival" set since he hates the OT that we all love though.
To be honest, I have totally given up hope we'll ever get these versions in any format. I think it really all comes down to the 6 film box set and how it is done. If it's as comprehensive as say...the Matrix set (don't have it, but have read the specs and it sounds like they hit it all with 10 disks covering 3 films) and doesn't include the original versions, then I would say that all hope is gone and we are all thoroughly fucked.

2. Not a good feeling he'll be writing and directing the TV show. What kind of show doesn't have main characters?
Lucas didn't say that he was going to write or direct. All he said was that he was going to get it started and then he would hand it over to someone else to do while he moved on to other non-SW projects. I assume that he will at least write some of the stuff. He also mentioned that it would be like the Young Indy show. Whatever the hell that means is your guess and mine. As for the main characters...I don't know what he's going to do. The only other thing I've heard him say at these Q&A sessions is that there is a really good idea floating around right now that he thinks will work out great.
Since Indiana Jones just popped in my mind...Lucas did say something about the next Indy lick too. One of the dudes ahead of me got up to the mike and asked when we were going to see the Man In The Hat again.....and the whole place just lit up. Lucas responded by saying that he just received the new script the day before and he was going to read it over the weekend and talk to Spielberg on Monday. So, that looks like it's still on. Wonder how they'll fuck that up, huh?
