Weren’t the 4K scans done in 2014? Why did it take until 2020 to be released? Why wait? Maybe they’re sitting on the unaltered versions until a certain amount of time after the most recent release?
The scenes Garett Edwards used in Rogue One looked great. I know work was done to incorporate them into R1, but I have to think there’s a lot of material available. Certainly enough to restore the unaltered version and probably create some new special features we haven’t seen.
I always go back to George being the roadblock. I don’t think anyone else is opposed, so why not do it? Do they just not care? Or could they be saving the unaltered release for additional cash in later on?
