It’s been my hope Disney would release the OUT, but I saw this Digital Bits article:

I don’t know if anyone else saw this, but my hope for an OUT release this year dropped. Don’t delete your Harmy files yet. I sincerely don’t get why Disney just doesn’t do the restoration, especially since they’ve been otherwise sympathetic to fans otherwise.

Someone earlier said the more popular films seem to not get as much love. I don’t believe that to be completely true, but somedays it DOES feel like that.

This article is comical. What does it even mean that the effects won’t hold up in HD? Does the author realize that for its first few years, Star Wars was only available in better-than-HD quality? (I.e. Film)

Facepalm Harmy’s editions look great on my big screen TV and those are 720p. I get that the special editons have better composting, but it’s not like the GOUT’S an eyesore.

It kills me everything someone says something on film can’t look good because “film’s not HD”. No, it’s not… it’s better.
