...but I think anyone who seriously believes that we'll see the OOT remastered in this upcoming box set is out of their fucking mind!!!
Lucas has gone through a lot to try and make those original versions disappear. He's said it will cost millions to do a proper restoration. He claims they aren't what he intended all along. He made the prequels specifically to fit with these "newer" versions. Everything he's said and done has indicated to me that he wants the OOT to just disappear. The OOT will be in the same category as the Holiday Special. Lucas just plain ignores that and we'll NEVER see that on DVD, not even as a gag feature. He can't treat the OOT like that just yet cuz he hasn't gotten a completed saga out there to take the OOT's place. That's what this box set will be. It'll be a finished saga and therefore the OOT can then be relegated to the garbage bin just like the Holiday Special.
But like a lot of you, I hope I'm wrong. I don't think I am though. We won't see a remastered OOT while Lucas is still breathing...when he kicks the can, then his kids will get talked into releasing it by businessmen....THEN we'll get what we want. And I agree....it's sad in the worst possible way.
