They do a special edition 2.0 in '04 -- the originals are never coming out -- and we fall back.

They say the releases will finally come out -- but will look like shit, deal with it.

Exactly. Lucass is known for going back on his word, so I don't think the fight is over.

I suspect we'll get something new next year as well. The fact that he's releasing them this september tells me something. I agree with the post above this is probably a ploy to sell all those unsold 2004 DVDs. The fact that the 30th anniversary is NEXT year, well I have a hard time believing this is the only OOT release we'll see. I have a feeling he'll do something nice for that and hopefully fix the 2004 versions as well (yes more changes, but the set is broken). Next year I'm seeing a new box set with the PT, 2004 (hopefully fixed), and OOT cleaned up and in an anamorphic transfer with a bunch of extras we haven't gotten yet. Hell, we already know the footage exsists, it's IN THE EMPIRE OF DREAMS DOCUMENTARY for crying out loud.

EDIT: Spelling.
