Not correct. The average viewer is not obsessed by something silly like a space fantasy and therefore likely smarter than any of us.

At some point both SE and OOT versions will be available. It might not be until the copyright expires and the films enter the public domain, but eventually the OOT will be available to new viewers as long as it’s preserved.
When the two versions are both made available on equal terms, it’s obvious which one will be more often viewed.

Whether it’s 100 years from now, or 20,000 years from now, copyright expiration marks the point at which we’ll have a new, high-quality respectful commercial OOT release. Implanted directly into our brains by our machine overlords, sure, but still.

Rogue One is redundant. Just play the first mission of DARK FORCES.

The time might come when we may need to take action in the streets to get the OOT released. We need to go to Lucasfilm/Disney headquarters, and stage protests/sit-ins until they give us what we deserve. It is unacceptable that an entire generation now does not even remember (or even care) the original versions of the trilogy. This is, again, a form of cultural erasure that disconnects us from the past for no practical reason. For Disney to just ignore this shameful act is absolutely horrifying, as more and more people are accepting a counterfeit version of these cultural landmarks that no other film in history has ever faced. We need to resist at all costs.

The “100 years from now” talk reminds me of why I would want each individual movie to get its own Blade Runner style multi-version blu-ray release.
The historical context of these movies needs to be preserved.

George isn’t going to last forever, and while Kathleen Kennedy owes him her entire career and is forever in his pocket, she’s probably going to be gone too with time. What she must have like 50 years left in her? Have some patience, jeez. Set your clocks for 2070 you guys, that’s the date. You just gotta wait, it’s definitely coming. They’re just holding out on us for the 80th anniversary. Maybe the 100th. I can’t believe anyone would think it won’t ever happen.
yeah, theoretically by the 100th anniversary the copyright will have expired and it’ll be public domain. Then there will be dozens of different releases. Too bad half of us will be dead by then.

Not necessarily. Let’s this rename this forum to cryosleep.com. Instead of creating Star Wars Fan preservations we should focus on technics & mechanics to expand our lifes so that we can experience the 100th anniversary of Star Wars 😉

It’s notable because this will literally be the third time - by as many different companies - that The Thing has been released on blu-ray.
It was one of the earlier movies Universal released on the format. They reused the existing hd transfer that had been used for the hddvd, which looked fine, but for the blu-ray specifically they applied some dnr (this exact same thing happened with several other Universal titles).
Shout Factory just did a new 2k master of it last year, but there is debate about the color timing.
So both bd releases so far have been a mixed bag.
I was also wondering why a title as big as The Thing was only getting remastered in 2k,
and why this new 4k master is happening so soon after and from yet another company.
I guess Univeral is more than willing to license out the rights to this particular film?

If a smaller label like Arrow Video can pick it up they must be freely available

I hadn’t heard about The Thing, and now I’m happy I procrastinated so long on the Shout disc. I have the Universal BD from back in the day. It’s fine, especially considering it’s only a single-layer disc, but I imagine either of these remasters is probably a huge improvement.

For the Shout remaster they got Dean Cundey to supervise (or at least approve) the finished transfer. They used an IP source, which is probably why they settled for 2k. I’m not sure what film elements were used for Uni’s hd master, if that’s even knowable.
The main issue with Shout’s release (and IIRC this was also a problem with the most recent Halloween transfer, which was also supervised/approved by Cundey) is that the color-timing pushes everything too far towards the cool end of the spectrum. A regrade using the old bd’s colors, which seem to more closely resemble those of a 35mm print, would seem to be the ideal combination. Maybe Arrow’s 4k job will end up being exactly that.

In this Entertainment Tonight expose’ from 1992:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHZUK-YsJ8E
Leonard Maltin refers to Star Wars as having been called A New Hope
Go to 1:25 in the video.
So even by that point(1992) the original Star Wars from 77’ was already forgotten in the popular culture.
I saw Star Wars in 1977. Many, many, many times. For 3 years it was just Star Wars...period. I saw it in good theaters, cheap theaters and drive-ins with those clunky metal speakers you hang on your window. The screen and sound quality never subtracted from the excitement. I can watch the original cut right now, over 30 years later, on some beat up VHS tape and enjoy it. It's the story that makes this movie. Nothing? else.

Also interesting to hear Lucas talking about the prequels 7 years before TPM, because the movies are exactly what he explained they would be (at the exception of “not being too different”, because they are quite different but still infused with the Star Wars spirit).
