The cool thing is, adam, that Lucas could easily pay any number of talented individuals who actually DO care about the OT to do this job for him, as was the case with WoO or the original King Kong. I kinda suspect that Merian Cooper or Victor Fleming either had little to do with the restoration jobs on their classic films (unless it was in some, say, zombified way.) At this point in time Lucas himself I fear could not be trusted to manage this project. This is why authors (and film directors for that matter) have editors- at some point one has to be able to step back and let someone a little less creatively involved but nonetheless talented lend a helping hand. Hell, if GL just turned over a set of OT original copies to an organization like Criterion we could all sleep a little better.

Well, *most* of us.
