Oh, no doubt there are prints floating around. The thing is, the film stock used at that time was notoriously prone to fading. If new safety dupes aren't made soon, STAR WARS as we knew it could truly no longer exist in a projectible form. Lucas himself has said that the original negs on STAR WARS are in horrible shape. Who knows exactly what he has lying around? I mean, I'm sure he has duplicates of the material but they're never a substitute for the original camera negatives. It's just a shame that he seems to have disowned the original versions.
