George Lucas is NOT a film preservationist, he says in his own words that he is an EDITOR. And that's pretty clear, judging by all the "editing" he's done to his original masterpieces. When Blu-Ray/HD-DVD does hit the market, you can be assured that he will re-release all six films in High-Definition. He likes money. However, he does not like us (the True fans). He feels that his original films weren't what they should have been at the time, and he will almost certainly not release the Original Original Trilogy on HD, or any other medium for that matter. More than likely, he will re-edit and digitize even more of the films, cannibalizing them further than even he has done currently. It will be up to us, the real fans, to do it. And without access to the original actual film media that he is selfishly hoarding, we can never do a true High-Definition transfer. The best thing we can hope for currently is the upcoming X0 Project, laserdisc transfers in their best possible state. George Lucas is a goon, give up on him - the Lucas that made the original films is long gone. We can only hope that Spielberg will take the initiative and contract Episode 0 from George, hopefully doing the OOT Legacy the respect it truly deserves. And maybe, just maybe, when Ol' Georgie Boy passes away, someone will open up his fantastic film vault and do a true OOT in HD/Blu-Ray, or whatever the standard is by then.
