Why would that be expected? That would be a vast and herculean effort. Finding, recovering, transferring, and then re-rendering 30-year-old CGI renders? Not to mention, they would have to re-scan other pieces of film missing from the theatrical cuts. To give a little away (and I won’t go any further), the '97 film out inserts were not scanned for this. In fact, if the documents are to be believed (which, btw, is not a 100% sure thing), then those pieces of film are no longer part of the negatives…

The versions would have noticeably different color grading and resolution.

I’m pretty sure most of the CGI isn’t from 1997, they re-did it several times, in 2004 for the DVDs, then again in 2011 for the Blu-Ray, and only a few minor tweaks in 2019 for the 4K version.

But yes, I agree with the reasoning that “Those are George’s versions and we aren’t going to touch them.”

Kathleen Kennedy has pretty much said that in interviews also.

That we don’t know… There is evidence to support both options.

Well, (if you believe him) Bill Hunt is apparently being told that something in fact will be released in 2027, which suggests option 2.

I recommend you take another look at our rules. Specifically:

Don’t attack other members personally. When debating, argue the point, not the person. Respectful criticisms of debate style (logical fallacies) are acceptable.

This is your first and last warning.

So what I’m reading is, you paid him to find out behind the scenes info.

He doesn’t know anything more than what you could have got here for free months ago. So what you paid for was embellishment and bad conjecture - and about four separate reminders that he’s got “contacts.” I’m not mad you posted it here. I’m not mad, period. I thought it was a good opportunity to point out what he was actually doing. Think of it as an object lesson in media literacy

Nobody is forcing you to keep vouching for and defending that position. You don’t have to keep doing so, and by doing so, force yourself into making contradictory statements with every quote. You’re just choosing to do it.

None of this is hostile. I can see why it’d be frustrating to someone who wants to keep doing something despite it not going the way they’d like, but that frustration is also a choice.

I don’t have a dog in this fight but you do sound really mad. Also please never use the phrase “media literacy” ever again.
