I remember hearing "The reason why the OOT wasn’t released in 2015 or '16 was because Star Wars needed more work done"
Anyone else remember hearing this? And did anyone find evidence supporting this theory or is this just internet nonsensemoviefreakmind mentioned hearing that from what he considers to be a reputable source on the Steve Hoffman forums.
Do you think this contradicts Robert Harris claim of the films being in pristine shape? If they were in pristine shape, then why does Star Wars need work done on it? Hmm
I don’t think he said they were in pristine shape, just that it wouldn’t be difficult/impossible to do. Doesn’t mean that they didn’t have to track down some second generation sources etc. to finish star wars. Who knows, maybe something was damaged or misplaced when the negative was recut in 1997.
