The problem is they are going to be bombarded by fans all wanting different things done, my hope is that all the sites could get together and agree on at least a minimum they would all like to see, then send that message to Lucasfilm.

Personally I don't care if they are 'cleaned up' there are people like the X0 guys that would do that later anyway.

What I would like to see would be.

1) A transfer from a print, not the THX D2 videotape master that the 93 laserdiscs used, as the cleanup algorithm for that caused all the ghosting and loss of detail.

2) No digital 'additions'

3) A good colour transfer.

That is about it, matte removal, dirt and dust removal, PCM audio, sabre fixes, colour correction et. can all be done by the groups on here.
All we really need is a detailed untouched telecine ANAMORPHIC transfer from a print in reasonable condition.

IF we could all agree on that or something similar as being the minimum requirement, then perhaps we could send a unified request to Lucas.

What we really need is the one thing we don't have, a good quality anamorphic detailed version of the trilogy. (we have all the other stuff, the various soundtracks etc.)

We could always tack various wishlists on the end (different audio, missing footage whatever) but at least if we had one request going forwards from all the various sites perhaps we could get at least the base for what we want, and turn it into our own individual projects to make it into the hundreds of different versions that would suit each individuals tastes.
