You know we'll always have fan edits of the originals. We can put isolated scores into these things ourselves if Lucasfilm doesn't, we would just have a really kickass source material this time (Oh, but does that count as piracy now?). We can always have different versions; consider the debate (well it isn't really a debate, more of a structured discussion) about the sunset's colour over at the XO project.

I don't know, it finally feels like we won't lose the original trilogy. I mean everyone suspected that as soon as the money dried out that this would finally happen, but I really thought Lucas was seriously dedicated to his art--"his art" now being the 2004 DVDs. I might suspect him of being a greedy corporate hog like a lot of other people are, but considering the fact he's including both "his" version and the version the "people" want. Maybe he's compromising.
