Star Wars Celebration 2006
George Lucas ascends to the rostrum, flanked by McCallum and Burtt.
LUCAS
The wait is over. The unaltered workprint trilogy will be released on DVD.
Wild APPLAUSE, but two of the fans sitting in the corner do not look pleased.
LUCAS
We stand on the threshold of a new era.
Even more APPLAUSE.
LUCAS
In order to assure the safety and security of the theatrical releases, I have transferred the 1993 laserdisc masters to DVD, and I assure you, they will last for ten thousand years!
Sustained APPLAUSE from all but the two fans at the back of the hall.
DISGRUNTLED FAN
So this is how the Trilogy dies. With thunderous applause.
