At this point I think the main reason I’m hoping this 4K OOT happens is so that I can stop coming here for bootlegs and getting sucked into the whirlpool of combativeness and negativity the General Star Wars Discussion board has become.

You’re wrong! This sub forum isn’t monolithically bad!

You’re wrong! How could you even say that?!?!

Ah, it’s gonna be a fun four weeks until that celebration panel.

AND BEYOND. Lucasfilm has NO PLANS to do anything. It’s been FIVE YEARS!!! I KNOW!!!

Was that a legit outburst or were you trying to beat Alderaan to the punch??

Alderaan is butt hurt because the Death Star blew him up, thus defeating the chance of ever seeing how cool the cities were on his planetary ass

The latter

Ahh figured. Although to make it legit it that statement would have had to end with the word NONE. 😉

As if you would know. You have no clue. NONE

I didn’t actually mean that as an insult I…oh wait. Ahh got it

We are a peaceful people, we have no weapons.

Is there an adblocker-type app to block any use of “butthurt?”

I’d pay good money for it.

I’ve seen word replacers over the years; maybe that might help?

Was just making a point.

No this is how you do that.

That GIF shouldn’t be using the special edition explosion. For shame!

It’s stylistically designed to be that way and you can’t undo that. Nor will you diminish the effects of it.

So I only just noticed that the link on the main page to the petition has been removed.

That was already seven years ago, and it didn’t get nearly as many signatures as the original one from the dvd days. Now a 4k-on-disc format is actually a thing.

If we don’t hear so much as a peep out of celebration, should we seriously consider a new one?

It could be worded to reflect the advances in home video technology and addressed, politely, to Disney, Fox, and GL (out of respect).

I’m just saying, we don’t need to have negativity just because Disney continues to deny us what’s ours. We can put that energy into something positive if we choose to.

I find the thought of starting up yet another petition to be a pointless idea. It should be evident that millions of people want the OOT simply from the visible view counts OOT videos on YT have gotten. The thousands of comments left by disgruntled OOT fans.

Agreed. A new petition I don’t think will help as much at this stage. What nickyd47 said plus the media attention Harmy’s and TN1’s work has gotten really should be enough to show that a proper restoration of the OUT is still eagerly awaited by many. It’s just a matter of if/when they wanna comply.

Hence the “if we hear nothing out of celebration” part.

If they’re not going to announce anything there, when the hell will they?

Even if all they say is “yes, we’re doing a thorough restoration and it will be out next year,” that would at least be something.

I would even settle for them telling us right now in 2017 that it won’t be completed until 2020. Again, that would at least be something.

But if we hear absolutely nothing on the subject for the fifth year in a row? Maybe then we actually will need another petition.

I think you guys are right, btw. The '09 petition only had a few months to build up any sigs before George said “the blu-ray is coming next year and once again it will be (my latest) SE-only.” He’d made up his mind anyway.

With Disney it’s been a different story. I couldn’t help but take the hiring of Kasdan for Ep7 and Johnson for Ep8 as a sign that someone at Lucasfilm was paying attention and actually reading the comment sections spread across the internet. They know what we want.

I’ll say this much, if an OOT restoration is what ends up getting announced at celebration I’m going to be very curious how they managed to keep such a tight lid on it, MSW’s ultravague rumor-mongering aside.

ETA: I like SilverWook’s idea. Maybe we should have that tweet typed up and ready to send (and retweet), in case there’s no announcement?

I dunno. Not sure about the power of a petition asking a corporation to release a product. What that does or doesn’t accomplish. Do you guys think that the original petition is what persuaded Lucasfilm to release the 2006 DVD sets?
