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?
