… I just hope that this near professional quality transfer doesn’t paint a giant target on the backs of everyone who worked on it. I’d like to see ESB and (especially) RotJ given a similar restoration which can’t happen if the lawyers appear.
Speaking as one of the collaborators on this, I’m not worried about a target. Lucasfilm could easily nullify our work by releasing their own version. I don’t think they’d want the negative publicity they’d probably get if they did come after us as well.
