But you don’t know anything. I don’t say that to be rude, I don’t know anything about Verta’s meeting either, but for all anyone knows a ton of awesome stuff came of his meeting.
And for all we know, a ton of Santa’s elves are working on restoring the OOT too by the way.
Since no OOT has been released, and year after year for 20 years we have had nothing but the SE and antiquated garbage LD transfers, the burden of proof lies on the side of those claiming the OOT is just around the corner, not the other way around.
If you guys wanna wait until celebration, then whatever. But if the tune doesn’t change after that, then there is going to be a whole lot of hypocrisy on this board. George’s doors were burning down after a year. Now a generation later and it’s “Disney is going to release the OOT next year”…and then “Disney is going to release the OOT leading up to TFA”…and now “Disney is going to release the OOT for the 40th anniversary”. We know some of the posters are just waiting to move onto the “Disney is going to release the OOT after 2020” nonsense.
They aren’t going to do ****. They are going to continue making **** rip-off movies with ridiculous plotholes, bad acting and directing, scripts written by junior high students, and raking in billions of dollars thanks to brain dead franchise fans.
Also, Fox isn’t and was never going to pay for a restoration of Lucasfilm’s property just to distribute it on home media.
Says who? That is what happens with all film restorations. Every single one. They are old movies. They get released on home video. They are 30 years old. 70 years old. Whatever. They aren’t getting released theatrically to rake in hundreds of millions of dollars. They are old movies. And yet they get restored all the time.
There is some evidence. It might not be concrete, but it’s still evidence. For example, there’s credible word that Disney/Lucasfilm requested a scan of the Library of Congress’s film print of Star Wars.
It’s just a rumor, and even if that’s true, how does that possibly equate to them releasing the OOT this year? How many steps do you have to jump to reach that conclusion?
There are also at least three different people that I’ve interacted with online that claim it’s happening this year; they may all be wrong, that’s completely possible, but it’s still evidence, even if it’s hearsay.
Yeah well, my aunt and uncle, this kid around the block, and that dirty guy with a beard who lives in a van down by the river all told me that too. I guess we can count that as a guarantee.
