But Why Disney request the print of the Original copyright print…
I think there doing something…
Also remember a few years ago when the Original teasers where restored and shown a comic con… where there any updates on that where they the original original trailers or the theatrical rerelease trailers.
Disney may well be working on a restoration.
I just think that the LOC thing is BS. They have no need of a beat up old release print. It sounds like a fan trying to spin a story after having read about the LOC print. Makes it sound like they know about a specific detail, and leads to people believing and repeating it. But it doesn’t really make sense, IMO.
It wasn’t a fan that said that. It was an old Lowry restorationist that briefly worked for George Lucas a while back. He said that an LOC person told him about the scan being made at Disney’s request. It might have something to do with consolidation of their library or something. I have no idea. It wasn’t a fan rumor though.
