I just hate all the damn speculating. I wish Disney would give some kind of damn statement.

They already did. Kathleen Kennedy already said it’s not going to happen. Just a bunch of people who can’t take a hint and like to bury their heads in the sand.

I didn’t hear that, but heartbreaking as it is, it’s not surprising.

I just can’t see the OOT ever getting released on its own. As a 2nd disc feature, maybe.

IF the OOT was restored correctly, and I mean 100% correctly, […]

This will be an issue, if Disney is going to restore the OOT: What IS 100% correctly?

No matter how good, precise or accurate they could do it, there will be a certain amount of people who will shout out loud how wrong, imprecise or inaccurate their restoration is. They can’t please everyone because too much time has passed. Opinions on how the restoration should look & sound like are diverging day by day.

Well, no including any of the changes from the 1997, 2004, and 2012 versions would be a good start.

For example, do they or do they not include “a new hope” in the crawl?

No. It wasn’t there in 1977, it shouldn’t be there.

Getting Robert A. Harris to supervise an OOT restoration would eliminate most disagreements about how it should look.

Yeah, and I’m spending tomorrow night with Alexandra Daddario 🙄.

As long as the film is cut right and Han and Leia’s faces aren’t Magenta, I’d be happy. Everyone who thinks their specific color preferences should carry some weight because they’re reflected in print X or Y is neurotic, IMO. How green were the Death Star walls on a new 1977 Kodak print? I don’t care.

If Lucas hadn’t bee fucking with the prints ever since it fucking came out, that might be easier to tell.

What would prompt you to download a fan edit? If it’s an OOT release on blu ray, why go to a fan edit?

As long as he owns said release, I don’t necessarily see a problem.
