This was what the Limited Editions were for....if you really want to preserve history.....
Again, for how long will these LD master sources release last? There are a short term solution to a long term problem. The Limited Editions should have solved the problem. If they were decent release, we would be having this discussion. But they weren't. You're acting like the limited editions solve the problem when they just patch it. Again, I'm not against Lucas or his vision. I just want a copy of the OOT that I can project onto a screen in perefect quality. That's all. That's it. The end. After that, I don't care. But until then, I think that the criticisms are legitimate.
He was one of them.
What has he done since 1980 that's worth anything?

To make people think he was the real creative force behind Star Wars?
He was one of them.

Produced SW and ESB? That counts as something. Does that mean that his opinions are more imporant than GL's? No. But it means that he deserves some say.
As long as we can agree that it is imortant to fight for a proper OOT DVD and HD release, then this bickering is pointless
