That is an excellent post! Just goes to show that some people in Lucas' camp are getting sick of his antics. Maybe, just maybe, they will be able to put the pressure on him even more and a proper restoration will happen....some day....
lets hope plenty of college grad OOT fans join lucasfilm so they'll still be there when Lucas isn't.
and you know what, since this is a limited release and the films will be off the market by 2007, I say the defense "this DVD restores a version of the film that is no longer commercially available..." (as quoted by Garrett Gilcrest at the end of RotJ classic edition) will still be quite valid. I say continue with the fan edits.
