The ‘bare minimum’ appears to be the ethos used by Lucasfilm for many years now when it comes to the Original Trilogy.
I wasn’t hoping for much on the 40th anniversary of Jedi, so I wasn’t too disappointed in the handful of articles they conjured up for it.
As long we those of us interested have the versions of the Original Trilogy we want, even it has been made by the fans, then that is more than enough for me. I’ll still sign any petition or put my name to asking for an official release of the unaltered cuts, but at this point I think us fans would do a better job than a possible official release would.
If Lucasfilm’s last release of the theatrical cuts is to be those awful 2006 GOUT DVDs it says a lot about them, and their attitude to the Original Trilogy, and none of it is good.
