Yes, but that use of Lucas being impressed with the IJ process and then tying that into the SW trilogy release could just be another example of the media's tendency towards "creative editing." For all we know, Lucas could have said that he is very impressed with how everything worked on the IJ trilogy, but there's no way in hell he would ever want to use that process on his precious films. With a simple text edit here and a placement there, voila!, you get "I am impressed with how the IJ trilogy turned out" and now Mr. Lucas is considering releasing the SW on DVD. No sort of falsehood or misrepresentation here because they did keep the effect of the first part of his statement intact, but just cut out where it was going from there. I'm not saying this is how it happened, but anything is possible.

Still, my emphasis is on "cautiously."
