Its exactly as I have been saying for the past year- The GOUT is the very last we will ever see of the OOT, all our work is dead, and the SE will be the only SW version for decades while the OOT rots to be lost forever-except in our memories. Lucas will keep this situation as the way things are until the day he dies. We might as well move on and just accept the worst DVD transfer in the history of humankind as the only way to see the true OT as fans have appreciated for 30 years, or just move on to star trek. We never expected this misery back in the 70s, 80s, and most of the 90s. And all of you put empty hopes in celebration IV and the 30th anniversary and next generation formats to get out of this hellhole. The OOT will get a proper presentation when the equator freezes over.

I'm a little more optimistic for the simple fact that we DID see the OUT on DVD. The poor transfer issues aside, it WAS on DVD when many said it will never, ever happen (including Lucas). Now will we ever see a proper version on DVD? Eh, that I doubt and I think it will be on the next format...even still, the point is we will see it again. Lucas has proven time and time again that money talks, and I feel that the OUT will be no exception...
