Anyway, I got my response from Lucasfilm just moments ago and I then sent this back to them:
"Having seen Lucasfilm's response to the outcry of fans around the world I am deeply saddened by the blatant and uncompromising response. Us fans have given George Lucas the money and therefore the artistic freedom he needed through all those years. We grew up with those movies and love them so dearly. And now he can't give us what we want, where's the respect and gratitude for what we've done for him? Are you just going to turn your back on us? I always say, what goes around, comes around. So naturally if this decision is not reconsidered then you'll have lost at least one true Star Wars fan. You wouldn't be getting any more support from me. That's a fact.
We are not expecting Lucasfilm to do a bigger than life frame by frame restoration like was done for the Special Editions, but rather simply do a relatively simple transfer from the best possible film elements available so as to preserve the movies as they were, totally unaltered. This could give us the anamorphic transfer that we so desperately want. This would not mean huge expenses for Lucasfilm. And were this to happen it would definitely mean huge sales, since every true fan out there would want to own the movies which changed the face of cinema forever in it's original state. This is an important part of cinema history and SHOULD be preserved. I think it's wrong of Lucas to want to bury these versions which made him what he is today.
Please reconsider this decision. The fans outcry and frustration will only get bigger and stronger if Lucas continues to ignore the importance of the original unaltered trilogy."
