I have to honest after the events of the last few days, Lucas will never release it now and the reissuing of the 2004 set has confirmed this for me.I am gonna treasure my unofficial sets even more now and still get unofficial versions.

I think something should be done somehow to make people aware the O-O-T is still out there around, abeit un-officialy, through fan editors ebay etc but the sounds of the posts i read elsewhere they dont seem to know this and will hold out for the vain hope rather go for next best thing and some I feel are fooling themselves that Lucas will cave in and dont want to go unoffical even for the slight quality drop ,
