To be fair, it isn’t like the Despecialized Editions are exactly legal.

I’m pretty sure when GL sold LucasFilm to the House of the Mouse there were stipulations to the original trilogy. Like it or not the current iteration is his “definitive version” of the Saga and Disney can’t mess with it / release HD editions of the Original Trilogy.
What I would be interested in knowing is if, now that Disney owns Star Wars, if that means that George can no longer mess with it either.
Well my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

I assume you’re just describing a hunch, but I don’t think I’ve seen any evidence that would suggest one way or the other. It would be a bizarre business deal, if so, but not impossible.

That would be the default assumption, unless we see evidence otherwise.

He would essentially have made a contract demanding that Lucasfilm can’t release the original versions of the OT in HD but they apparently can in 4:3 letterbox. If George Lucas wanted the original films lost to history then he wouldn’t have allowed them to be used in Empire of Dreams and he wouldn’t have released them himself in 2006.

Oh yeah, it’s a total hunch and assumption on my part. Disney has been killing it in regards to franchises, whether it be Star Wars, Marvel or their live action adaptations. They’ve been giving fans what they want and they love money.
Of course, Fox could still be retaining distribution rights or there could be a myriad of other reasons why having the original cuts of the movies in true HD not available.
I just don’t buy that it’s too costly to do because it’s Disney, or that it’s too difficult. I don’t have the knowledge or skills to pull it off but LucasFilm certainly does. Otherwise, a group of impassioned and talented fans have pulled off a feat that those powerhouses have deemed impossible (kudos to those talented fans anyhow).
Well my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

Thanks for the links Harmy. When I introduce someone to the Despecialized Editions I show them that documentary. Good to be able to have access to it again directly from you.
Are you likely to make a documentary for The Empire Strikes Back 2.0 or Return of the Jedi 2.5?
(On an unrelated note good luck with ESB 2.5)

Could this possibly be a good thing? A sign that Harmy’s Despecialized might no longer be needed?
It’s a sad sight when hope turns to desperation.
