I see it as, the man is a perfectionist. But he's human so he can never make or even come close to perfection, esspecially when it comes to his art. The man is like a plastic surgery addict. He keeps seeing flaws where there are none and ruins his once beautiful, ground breaking film.
I also believe that someday down the road we will get a decent DVD transfer. Hell, Blade Runner is finally getting the transfer it so desperatly needed. Once Lucas is dead, they'll release an ultimate edition. There are too many people out there, and who work for Lucasfilm that refuse to let the originals die. I believe that we will get an offical release someday. For now, these DVD will be the best quality so far, and to me it's worth the $36 fee.

The comment about them releasing an ultimate edition after he dies could very well happen (even if he puts a "don't you dare do what I think you'll do!" clause in his will?). It happened with the anime "Metropolis." The creator, Osamu Tezuka, said he never wanted that comic series made into a movie, but after he died, they did it. And it was wonderful! But then the guys that did it joked (perhaps half joked) that now Tezuka's ghost will haunt them.

So then he overcompensates and loses all sense of artistic subtlety.

I read through some of the posts, and saw that some people commented about you have to buy the release and make it sell incredibly well if we want a blu-ray disc realease. While this is true, George Lucas hates the OOT so much, I can just see the conversation now if the numbers come in huge....
JIM: Mr. Lucas, look how many people ran out and bought the Limited Edition release of Star Wars!!! It's the best sales we've ever had for a home-video release!
GEORGE: People DID want the special editions on individual sets! I KNEW it!
JIM: And it couldn't have anything to do that it had the Unaltered Version as well?
GEORGE: People don't buy DVD's for Bonus Features. Especially when the Bonus Feature is a half-assed piece of crap made in the 70's.
JIM: So what about a high-definition release of the Unaltered Trilogy? It's apparent the fans want it.
GEORGE: Jim, you're a moron. Fans don't buy discs to get Disc 2. They buy em' for what's on Disc One. THe incredible sales ofthis release tell us that fans want the special editions more than ever!!! Jim, go get rid of every version of the Unaltered Trilogy left, and scour every house in the United States to find home-video version of the releases. When you have them all, burn them.
JIM: Really?
GEORGE: It's either that or I fire you.
JIM: On it.

There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.
