Now, I should say I have no problem waiting, so long as they make it worth the wait.
Don’t take life for granted. We may not be here tomorrow or the next day.
And even if we personally never see it restored, our descendants might not either. You never know what can happen in the world in a few years. Restoring films might no longer be a priority, and suddenly a couple hundred years from now when some historian starts looking around for the original cuts of Star Wars, they might not exist. It’s even possible that the special editions might be so lowly regarded by future generations, that the films don’t exist…at all.
Which is why I’m happy to watch Harmy’s work until suddenly someone taps me on the shoulder and says an official version is here. I hope it happens but I’m not going to spend my days worrying about it.

Totally agree.
I had a real hankering to watch the OT a while ago and dug out the VHS copies I’d had for over 20 years. Watching them again using today’s tech made me realise how terrible the quality was and forced me to seek out Harmy’s versions. They really are superb and will last me until, in their wisdom, the powers that be release them again for all to enjoy.
