We are at the point in SW history that the OOT will be doomed forever onto laserdisc quality for decades to come. THis could mean that Lucas has won the war against the originals and has done what no person has ever been able to do since the dawn of time: erase history. The hopes of having star wars on DVD is a dead dream, same as the destruction of Alderan, and the hope of SW being released in a non-SE version in HD/BD is DOA. We need to start leaving the message boards and protest in public of this outrageous and despicable act. We need to contact every filmmaker right now and pull them to the plight of the destruction of part of film history. If there can be the preservation of hsitoric buildings, we can save the OOT if we notify every corner of the media, notify Criterion to the struggle, and raise the money to buy the original prints from Lucasfilm itself, even if it is the 1993 master. For me, there is no replacement for the OOT, and I would rather kill myself than see a world where the SE is the only available version of SW. Am I just an idealist, or should we patiently wait for a day that could never come. We need the leader of this website to raise the money to buy the OOT from Lucas himself, because he does not want those versions at all. This is our only chance.
